Pidcock Crashes Out of Volta a Catalunya

0:00On March 28, British cyclist Tom Pitcock is out of the Volta A. Catalonia after a nasty crash on stage 5 Friday. The Pinarello Q36.5 rider misjudged a sharp downhill corner, went off the road into a ravine at around 60 km per hour and limped across. The finish line, more than 29 minutes behind stage, winner Jonas Vingigard. That stage covered 153 km from the So Durgel to La Molina, over Colda Pal, and Pitcock was chugging water when it all. Went wrong, leaving him isolated way off the path. Pitcock called himself Lucky just to radio for help, and he's no stranger to Big Winds, fresh off taking Milano Torino and runner up at Milan, San Remo. Behind today's Pogacar this month, plus he's a two-time Olympic mountain-by-champ. Team Doc spotted likely bone and ligament damage in his right knee and wrist after checks, forcing the tough call to pull him before stage 6 even, though he pushed to finish Friday

1:01and keep his options open. Now it's all about recovery for Pitcock as the race wraps Sunday, while Vingigard grabbed the win by 51 seconds to stretch his overall lead to. 37, expect the Brit back swinging soon.
