The 79th edition of the Circuito de Getxo was held in the Basque Country this Sunday afternoon in the blistering summer sun. Heading into the finale, Lidl-Trek's Juan Pedro Lopez was looking good, but sadly a big crash on a pacey descent ended all hopes for the Spaniard.
On the final ascent of the Alto Pike, there was a flurry of attacks, with an elite group containing Juan Pedro Lopez, Quinn Simmons, Javier Romo, Clement Champoussin and Maxim van Gils going clear with a narrow gap from the peloton by the top of the climb. Sadly though, as mentioned, when things started coming back together on the descent, Lopez was the victim of a very scary slide out at speed.
You can see the incident for yourself down below and we will keep you updated as any further information is revealed on Lopez's condition. Our best wishes go to the Lidl-Trek star.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
