MADRID — A member of American cycling team Trek-Segafredo was hospitalized with a concussion after going missing for several hours in northeastern Spain on Monday.

Director Steven De Jongh “did not sustain more serious injuries” after crashing in a training ride near the city of Girona, the team said.

A police helicopter found him lying unconscious in a ravine, but with a pulse and breathing. De Jongh’s wife had called for help on Twitter, saying her husband went missing after going on his morning ride.
