Australian cyclist Caleb Ewan won a crash-marred fifth stage of the Giro d’Italia on Thursday (NZT) and Alessandro De Marchi kept hold of the leader’s pink jersey.
Ewan’s victory in a sprint finish was overshadowed by several crashes in the final 15 kilometres. The most serious involved one of the favourites, Mikel Landa, who was taken away in an ambulance.
“He was in pain, we’re not sure if he has fractured his collarbone or his wrist,” Team Bahrain Victorious sporting director Franco Pellizotti said. “We’re disappointed but our Giro continues.”
