Giro d’Italia: Martinelli rescued from ravine and Roglic abandons on stage 16 | Giro d’Italia

Primoz Roglic has abandoned the Giro d’Italia after suffering another crash in treacherous conditions during a rain-hit stage 16 on Tuesday.

The 2023 winner was caught in a crash on a downhill section alongside Richard Carapaz, who did manage to rejoin the race.

Roglic had suffered a major blow after a crash on Saturday, which was his third in a week. The absence of reigning champion Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard meant Roglic had been favourite for the title and to become the oldest winner of the Giro.

Italian rider Alessio Martinelli of VF Group-Bardiani-CSF-Faizane also crashed into a ravine after sliding off the road at a corner, before being rescued by emergency teams.

“Martinelli, the victim of a fall, was transported to hospital. He is currently conscious and his condition is stable. Further updates on his condition will be announced later today,” his team posted on social media platform X.
