A lone leader, Zana was riding hard to try and hold onto his advantage. Overshooting a corner though, the Italian national champion was sent somersaulting off the road and onto a grassy embankment, narrowly missing a horse in the field. After what has happened in the cycling world over recent days, it was a heart in mouth moment.

- Really? Unfair? come on "Braveheart" Jonas: Visma is the first in search, develop and USE these kind of new improvements. The rest of the teams imitate them. I hope it was a misunderstanding, otherwise.. no full-gas, full-hypocrisy.

- Even though most of the biggest riders don't race in the beginning of the year, this time is still very exciting because the birth of new stars often happens behind the scenes during winter, and then once racing comes, boom, you have completely unexpected outcomes.Ride197423-01-2025
