tombeej Posted September 3, 2014 Share Quintana “feels pain in his right-hand shoulder and has been moved by ambulance to a medical center to check on any fractures,” Movistar said on their Twitter feed. TV images showed Quintana lying on the side of the road, looking groggy but able to speak, with Movistar mechanics and sports directors surrounding him. However, as he touched his shoulder repeatedly, it was clear the injuries were worse than in yesterday’s crash. A few minutes later he clambered carefully into a race ambulance, his Vuelta a España over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
