Nizzolo came bursting through but as the road curved in the finishing straight he did veer over towards the barriers and into the line of Modolo.

We've just grabbed a word with Modolo, and he is not happy with Nizzolo's sprint.

 

"You saw it, if I hadn’t braked I’d have been in the barriers. Closing me in like that is dangerous.”

Earlier...????

 

 

There's a sizeable crash that leaves a few riders on the ground. Rigoberto Uran is on the deck and Esteban Chaves stops to check on his compatriot.

Uran gets back on his back and rides on with teammates. There are no worries about trying to get back onto the bunch as the GC times have already been taken and the stage has been neutralised from that point of view.

Posted

Sutterlin was in fact injured in that crash. He has been taken away in an ambulance and therefore will not finish this Giro.

That crash has added something of a sour note to the end of this Giro. Two young riders in their first Giro, so close to reaching the end, having to end their race in hospital.
