The Giro d’Italia 2024 begins to reap its “victims”. This morning, in fact, the first withdrawal ever occurred: not starting again for the second stage with arrival in Oropa and abandoning the Corsa Rosa prematurely was Robert Gesinkwho crashed yesterday just under 30 kilometers from the finish line in Turin and arrived at the finish line more than a quarter of an hour behind the winner Narvaez.
In the accident, in which other riders were involved, including Domenico Pozzovivo (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè), the 37-year-old Dutchman suffered a small fracture in his hand, as written in the official press release from Team Visma | Lease a Bike. For Gesink, who was competing as a domestique for the young Cian Uijtdebroeks, it was the last Giro of his career as he will retire at the end of this season.
