Jesús Alejandro Olvera Carbajal, a participant in the 160 km race, suffered a tragic accident when he lost control of his bicycle and fell down a ravine. Despite the efforts of the medical services, his life could not be saved.
Nairo Quintana and the Gran Fondo organization issued a statement expressing their condolences to the family and friends of Jesús Alejandro Olvera Carbajal.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
