Tao Geoghegan Hart will require surgery after sustaining a fractured hip following a crash on Stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia, his team Ineos Grenadiers have confirmed. The British rider left the Giro in an ambulance after a freak crash that also saw team-mate Geraint Thomas and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) go down. Ad And Ineos revealed the Briton's prognosis later on Wednesday.
Tao Geoghegan Hart has admitted to being “devastated” after crashing out of the Giro d’Italia. He left Stage 11 in an ambulance following a collision which saw numerous riders fall, including his Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Geraint Thomas in the leader’s pink jersey, and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma). Ad With 68km remaining, the front three racers in the general classification slid off the road on a corner.
Geraint Thomas is unlikely to tactically give up the pink jersey, his Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Luke Rowe has said, adding that the Welshman is in a «great position” in the race. Rowe, who is not riding the Giro, joined the latest episode of The Breakaway to discuss Stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia. Ad The stage was won by Germany’s Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) on a day that general classification contender Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) left the race in an ambulance after a freak crash that also saw team-mate Geraint Thomas and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) go down.
Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) was left ruing a “big loss” at the Giro d’Italia after team-mate Tao Geoghegan Hart left the race in an ambulance, while regular Ineos road captain Luke Rowe called it “gut-wrenching” on The Breakaway. Thomas and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) also went down in the crash with 68km remaining on Stage 11 when Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates) slid out on a wet turn and took a number of riders with him. Although Thomas and Roglic resumed, Geoghegan Hart was not so fortunate and was placed on a stretcher.
After two relatively simple stages – albeit the first in freezing rain – things step up a little on Stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia as we flirt with the mountains again. The profile is not particularly challenging, however, so we can expect plenty of early action as our non-GC stars attempt to get in the day’s breakaway in the knowledge they may not be caught. Ad The main test is the Cat.
The longest day of the Giro d’Italia was won by the finest of margins as Germany’s Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) pipped Italy’s Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious) in a photo finish in the 219km Stage 11 to Tortona. Ackermann sprang from the wheel of Britain’s Mark Cavendish (Astana-Qazaqstan) to round Denmark’s Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) on the home straight to hold onto his first win of the season despite a late, late surge from Milan, the maglia ciclamino.
:Pascal Ackermann narrowly won Wednesday's stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia after former champion Tao Geoghegan Hart was forced out of the race after a freak crash on a slippery descent with around 70km remaining from the end of the 219km ride to Tortona.
Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) left the Giro d’Italia in an ambulance after a freak crash on Stage 11 that also saw team-mate Geraint Thomas and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) go down. After the most uneventful of days in the saddle, a splash of rain suddenly sparked chaos in the peloton with 68km remaining as the front three in the general classification slid out on a corner along with a number of other riders.
