Kueng has jaw surgery after Paris-Roubaix crash

Swiss rider Stefan Kueng has undergone surgery on his jaw following a crash in Sunday’s Paris-Roubaix classic, his BMC team said yesterday.

The 24-year-old is facing up to six weeks on the sidelines as he recovers from his fall on the first section of the one-day race’s infamous cobbled sections. Kueng serves in the BMC team as lieutenant to Belgian Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet. “Stefan will be confined to a liquid diet for some time to minimize movement of his jaw but he is able to speak,” said BMC doctor Max Testa. The weekend’s Paris-Roubaix was tainted by tragedy with the fatal heart attack suffered by 23-year-old Belgian Michael Goolaerts.
