Miguel Ángel López won the first stage of the Tour of the Gila with great authority. However, he suffered a hard crash in the second stage when he was in the leader's jersey and was forced to abandon the race.
The Team Medellin - EMP leader did not see a hole in the road while he was drinking water, which caused his hard crash: "There was a hole and I was drinking water. But because there was a shadow I didn't notice it. I was in the peloton and my bike slipped away from me," the Colombian himself explained.
According to Mundo Ciclístico, Lopez will undergo medical tests and only then will the injuries and recovery time be accessed. The rider had planned to return to racing in Europe after being unable to do so in recent months following his dismissal from Astana. This crash also puts into doubt his presence at the upcoming Tour of Hellas.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
