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.
