A very heavy fall, again. And once again, Remco Evenepoel was not spared. 21 kilometers from Saint-Priest in the Lyon suburbs, place of arrival of the 5th stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné, part of the peloton went to ground on a descent made slippery by the rain. The Belgian of Soudal Quick-Step, wearing the yellow leader’s jersey, is one of the victims. But once the line is crossed when the race has been definitively neutralized, the 2022 world champion reassures. Nothing alarming about his state of health, he who had broken his collarbone on the Tour of the Basque Country two months ago.
Evenepoel reassures after the massive fall on the 5th stage
“Another negative day for cycling unfortunately…”
“The riders at the head of the peloton started to slip, tell Remco Evenepoel at the microphone of his training. It wasn’t a real corner so it’s a bit strange that we crashed. But the pictures speak for themselves, the roads were super slippery, so everyone started slipping.” We saw the Belgian touch his collarbone, just recovered from a fracture on theItzulia : “I have a few injuries but nothing serious like I had two months ago. Hopefully everyone is okay, and those who are injured recover well. Another negative day for cycling unfortunately.”
