CyclingSunday, 22 May 2022 at 12:44
The 15th stage of the Giro d'Italia will see the peloton head into the Valle d'Aosta for a hard day in the mountains, however before the peloton reached the rough terrain they are having to ride through vast flat roads, which have seen a mass crash including race leader Richard Carapaz.
The incident happened with 171 kilometers to go, only six kilometers into the day. Whilst riding on a straightforward flat road, the pile-up of riders has caused a clash, taking several riders down towards the back of the peloton. Richard Carapaz hit the deck, but crashing onto the grass apparently. Nevertheless, it took around a minute for the Ecuadorian to get back on the bike, although likely content that the consequences weren't bigger.
No-one seemed to be heavily injured from the crash, but it did see the likes of Simon Yates and Guillaume Martin involved aswell. In the meantime Carapaz has managed to regain contact with the peloton after a short chase.

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

- Cycling is dying. That's obvious. All you have to do is look at the huge hits the major bike component companies are taking year over year. Then there's the loss of outlets providing coverage and the costs of streaming with those that remain. Add to that the effects of E-bikes on the younger generations. Now figure that it's a sponsor based sport instead of viewer based sport.Sweep18-12-2024
