Without having forgotten yet the serious accident of Jakobsen in the Tour of Poland, cycling has once again witnessed a hard fall. This time it has been Remco Evenepoel, who crashed with 40 kilometers to go at the Giro de Lombardia. The young Belgian, who has amazed the world with his feats on the bike this year, has crashed into a low wall at high speed. A brutal blow. Evenepoel has been thrown from his bicycle to fall off a bridge.

The first pictures, taken by an AFP photographer, show the cyclist, 20, conscious and making gestures of pain. Twenty minutes after his fall, he was evacuated by ambulance, to which he was transferred on a stretcher and wearing a neck brace. “It is in the hands of the doctors and right now it is traveling to the hospital”, confirmed the Deceuninck-QuickStep training on Twitter.

Evenepoel was part of a group of seven riders leading the fifty kilometer race for the Giro de Lombardia. The descent was proceeding at high speed, powered by Vincenzo Nibaliwhile Evenepoel was slightly behind at the time of his fall.
