VIDEO: Terrifying scenes as Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel and others crash hard into concrete ditch at Itzulia Basque Country

There has been an absolutely disastrous crash on stage 4 of the 2024 Itzulia Basque Country with some of the stars of the race crashing hard into a concrete ditch.
Although Remco Evenepoel was one of the first to go off-road, the Soudal - Quick-Step leader managed to avoid the concrete ditch, instead rolling on the grass through the trees. Both Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic however ended up in great difficulty with all three of the stars looking in incredible pain and staying down to receive medical attention.
Whilst we don't want to speculate, things don't look good and we send best wishes go out to all involved.

- Thanks for that, shorter cranks could also allow you to continue pedalling in sharper turns I guess. But, are you saying that commercial bike frames might now start being adapted with a lower option in vue of mounting shorter cranks?Mistermaumau27-06-2025
- Obviously not you presumptuous squeek, seeing as the question was concerning the teams presenting 7, 8, or 9. The site has in the meantime upgraded its presentation to explain which teams are defined but that could not be deduced from the number alone unless there is a rule that forbids starting with a team of 7, I expect you know the answer to that but will refrain from sharing. 8 being the max. still doesn’t mean a list of 8 is definitive and won’t change, and showing 9 is in actually in bad taste (if there is hesitation between 2 or 3 riders then just list the sure starters and wait to complete instead of leaving everyone to guess and not be disappointed which name will be crossed off later). But hey, if you need a punching bag too, feel free.Mistermaumau27-06-2025
- Just checked Pro Cycling Stats. Michael Leonard and Olivia Baril are the new time trial national champions.

Get well soon for all those injured riders 🤕🤕🤞🏻!
That looks nasty! 🤕🤕
Gotta have music with it? Jesus Christ.
Wait until they Netflix it
Or turn it into a HBO MAX drama...
I hope they do some in-depth investigations after this, looking at tires and rims, punctures, etc. abnormal how much these guys are all sliding out of corners at high speeds this year, it’s not as if they’re not used to judging speed.
Hope no-one is playing around with putting stuff on the roads.
Rough year if you ask me and some will lose half the season, this is going to completely rewrite the TdF too.
So far Pog has been lucky and the Giro shouldn’t be too difficult for him so he won’t have to take risks or stick around when things get nervous.
Is he the only noteworthy since MvdP in Glasgow that hasn’t fallen?
Surprisingly long time in the floor for Jonas V.. wish all well!
That was one of the most disturbing crashes that I've seen in a while, and it's a horrible thing to see injured riders on the ground like that. It's been a rough week for riders in the pro peloton, with the crash of Wout van Aert last week, and now this unfortunate incident. Hopefully the injuries aren't too serious, and all the riders involved can make a quick and full recovery.
