Stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia on Sunday was ruined by some “dickhead” on a fixie who decided it would be an awesome idea to wheel his way out onto the race course in front of the peloton. The move caused a massive pileup and left riders fuming:
“If I get hold of the dickhead that had the bright idea of jumping into the peloton on a fixie with 10km to go, making us crash, I swear he’d be in for it.”
That’s Trek Factory Racing rider Eugenio Alafaci, whose teammate, Marco Coledan, rode away from the crash badly scraped up. Television cameras only caught the aftermath of the crash, but a fan managed to capture the incident as it unfolded.
