MADRID (AP) Giant-Alpecin cycling team says Warren Barguil fractured his wrist and John Degenkolb fractured his arm when a car ran into them and four other teammates while training in Spain on Saturday.

In a statement released a day after the six were taken to local hospitals, the German team says Barguil ''may require surgery'' on his hand, while Degenkolb has received surgery to treat a cut in his upper leg.

Giant-Alpecin says American rider Chad Haga was airlifted to a hospital on Saturday and had ''successful'' surgery on his neck and chin. It adds Haga has an orbital fracture.

German Max Walscheid will likely require surgery on a fractured hand and tibia, while Swede Fredrik Ludvigsson and Dutchman Ramon Sinkeldam had scratches and bruises ''all over'' their bodies.
