Turns out ColoQuick's Adam Holm Jørgensen was pretty badly hurt from crashing on stage 1 of Tour of Norway:

Dansk talent med grum historie: Taknemmelig over at kunne gå

14 brud, indre blødninger og en punkteret lunge - et grusomt styrt var tæt på at koste Adam Holm Jørgensen førligheden

Six fractured vertebrae, seven broken ribs and a broken collarbone. In addition, a punctured lung and internal bleeding from one kidney.

Baroncini in a coma after the accident in Poland.

I didn't think it was that serious.

From the article it seems like he has some broken bones in his face that require no movement to fix so that‘s why he‘s in the coma. Also, he could get lost in the rainforest and the news would come quicker than from Poland. And the Tour de Pologne is obviously afflicted by some Voodoo curse.

It's indeed an induced coma.

No matter how induced it is, it's been several days.

Maybe they don't want to say much more until he recovers. But it's worrying that he's still in a coma.

No. The last thing that was known is that on Tuesday, two days ago, he was going to moved to Italy in a coma for surgery.

Good news. Baroncini emerged from a coma today after 14 days.
He required an eleven-hour surgery.

It seems absolutely wild to me that you can just keep a man in a coma for two weeks due to broken bones without getting his permission (maybe they did, in which case it seems less wild). I've never heard of something like that.

I reckon his 2 fractured vertebrae were the main reason and not his facial wounds.
Doctors know best in all fairness, it's possible his family was notified or consulted but sometimes doctors need to make that decision on the spot.

That's the doctors' decision, and if they did it, it was because there was no other option to guarantee his health and allow him to operate.

The final operation lasted 11 hours. The injuries were undoubtedly significant.

“Filippo was conscious on the ground for more than 40 minutes before he was taken to hospital. Mauro [Gianetti] took charge of the situation, but it’s not clear why he was loaded into an ambulance and then not taken to the nearest hospital. They waited for another one to arrive,” Agnostini said.
