Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) showed his anger towards his team and anyone who crossed his path at that moment. 11.2 km. from the finish line, facing the climb to the Santuario di Oropa, the first high finish in the second stage of the Giro d’Italia, he fell to the ground.
His rear tire had said enough, and Pogacar lost control of his bike, kissing the ground. He almost got hit by his team’s car. The cyclist raised his hand for a long time to ask for help.
For his request, he came too late. He quickly got up to change the bike and face the Ineos rush, thinking about speeding up the race for the final climb.
Pogacar had to make an extra effort to reach the race leader, two kilometers later. In time to be in the fight, but there is anger that will only be left if he fulfills his goal of getting a good bite out of a race in which he is the great favorite. The only one really.
But no one is immune from an accident, not even him.
