VIDEO: Blow for Tom Pidcock as domestique abandons 2025 Giro d'Italia with apparent collarbone break on stage 4

It's been a relatively quiet and calm day so far on stage 4 of the 2025 Giro d'Italia. Even on these days though, the riders need to keep their concentration levels fully switched on at all times as proven by a crash out of nowhere that has rocked the peloton.

Although Maglia Rosa Mads Pedersen was caught up in the crash, it didn't look as if the Lidl-Trek leader actually hit the deck. One man who did come down hard however, was the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team's Nickolas Zukowsky. The 26-year-old Canadian was seemingly the worst affected of the riders involved, and as he sat at the side of the road in the trademark position of a rider with a broken collarbone, the writing was sadly on the wall for his Grand Tour debut.

Moments later, Zukowsky's abandon was confirmed, leaving Tom Pidcock a domestique down. See the incident for yourself in the video down below, and best wishes to a speedy recovery for Zukowsky!
