🇪🇸 #VoltaCatalunya103 Unlucky start @VoltaCatalunya for us, as @CarusoDamiano and @WoutPoels were caught in a crash in the finale. Happily, they are both ok and set to start the challenging stage 2. #RideAsOne #rideforGino 📸 @SprintCycling
Wout Poels and Damiano Caruso unscathed after crashing on stage 1 of the Volta a Catalunya
CyclingTuesday, 19 March 2024 at 02:30
After they both raced Tirreno-Adriatico a couple of weeks ago, Wout Poels and Damiano Caruso were both on the start line for the opening stage of the Volta a Catalunya, as the Dutchman leads the Bahrain Victorious team at the Spanish stage race this week, whilst the Italian rider will potentially be looking to take his chance on one of the mountain stages.
The race got off to a bad start for both riders though, as Poels and Caruso were involved in a crash in the finale of the opening stage. However, they managed to escape largely unscathed, as Caruso suffered some road rash on his right thigh that was clearly visible at the finish.
Though they will not be at 100% for stage 2, they will have to be in good form to remain in contention on the mountaintop finish to Vallter 2000, as it is set to be one of the most decisive stages in the race for the general classification.
