After his Tour of the Alps win, Juan Pedro Lopez had high hopes of a podium finish at the
Giro d'Italia and the
Lidl-Trek leader had started brightly. Sadly though, he has been involved in a crash on stage 6.
Coming just prior to the final gravel sector, stress was high within the bunch and sadly for Lopez, he and a handful of other riders were victim of that stress and were brought down to the Tuscany tarmac. With under 20km to go, the Spaniard now faces a battle to get back into the bunch before the end.
