Carapaz left with no lasting injuries after nasty crash at Il Lombardia
Richard Carapaz was in the large chase group contesting top-20 finishes at Il Lombardia when he crashed hard on the descent off the Passo di Ganda. TV coverage showed him on his back against the rock face, clearly moving but not rushing to stand back up.
He abandoned the race and was sent for medical checks, which revealed no fractures nor head injury.
"Richie suffered road rash but escaped bony injuries in his crash," read the EF Education-EasyPost update on Saturday evening. "Initial tests cleared him of concussion, but our medical team will continue to monitor him in the coming days."
