The first stage of the Vuelta a EspaƱa had, amazingly enough, not resulted in any crashes. The last Grand Tour of the year seemed to be off to a good start, but things went wrong in the second stage: it started to rain, increasing the risk of crashes. At a roundabout, almost the entire Visma | Lease a Bike team hit the asphalt, including Tom Pidcock.
It was a rider from Q36.5 who first slipped on the wet roads. The riders behind him had no chance: he took his team leader Pidcock with him, and behind them was the entire Visma team. Jonas Vingegaard hit the asphalt, but he was able to get back on his bike quickly. Axel Zingle was less fortunate: the Frenchman remained on the ground for a long time and was immediately checked, but he was able to get back on his bike later. Tim van Dijke (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) was also severely injured.
We quickly got the impression that Vingegaard was okay: he gave us a thumbs up. He was brought back to the peloton by Victor Campenaerts, who was also involved in the crash. Other riders who crashed were Carlos Canal, Michel Hessmann (Movistar), Patrick Eddy (Picnic PostNL), and Marcel CamprubĆ­ (Q36.5).
