VIDEO: Christophe Laporte goes down hard at first intermediate sprint
CyclingWednesday, 08 May 2024 at 15:48
With no breakaway out front, maximum points were on offer for the sprinters at the first intermediate sprint on stage 5 of the 2024 Giro d'Italia.
Kaden Groves took the win at the sprint ahead of Olav Kooij and Jonathan Milan. The main talking point however, was a crash for Christophe Laporte in the leadout. Going over a grate in the road, the European champion seemed to lose control as his foot slipped out of the pedals and subsequently slid hard across the tarmac, ripping open his jersey in the process.
Thankfully the Frenchman is back on his bike. See the incident in the video below!

- "25-34 are only 13% of USA Cyclings membership" Wow. I own a bike shop, and that number comports both with what I see in the business as well as on the road and trails, but it's somehow hugely demoralizing to see it quantified. Thirteen percent?verve82519-12-2024

santiagobenites18-12-2024 - Every year cycling teams force their fans to memorize the jersey colors of all the teams so you can tell which team is doing what in a race. Not like normal sports where the jersey's and numbers mostly stay the same year after year.Sweep18-12-2024
