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.
