Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) is out of the Giro d’Italia and team officials fear Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers) might have a fractured collarbone after each were involved in separate crashes Wednesday late in stage 5 on a technical urban circuit.
Landa went down with about 5km to go, with a traffic island provoking an incident within the bunch. Landa was seen writhing on the ground, along with a race marshal and other riders, including Tuesday’s stage-winner Joe Dombrowski (UAE Emirates).
