Laurens De Plus (Quick-Step Floors) je doživel grozljivo nesrečo na kolesarski dirki po Lombardiji, v kateri pa na srečo ni utrpel hujših poškodb.
Belgijec je napadal takrat vodilnega Mikaëla Cherela (AG2R La Mondiale), ki je imel 20 sekund prednosti.
Med tehnično zahtevnim spustom (Muro di Sormano) je prehitro zapeljal v ovinek in kljub močnemu zaviranju "poletel" čez cestno varnostno ograjo.
Na prizorišče nesreče, ki je izgledala precej spektakularno, so nemudoma prihiteli rešilci. Kolesarja so najprej oskrbeli na mestu in ga nato prepeljali v bolnišnico, kjer bo opravil dodatne preiskave. De Plus začuda naj ne bi bil huje poškodovan.
We just talked with @LaurensDePlus, who fortunately has no serious injuries after that earlier crash and is on his way to the hospital.

Ambulances at site of De Plus crash. One QST rider standing up. Teammate, I think. Hope it was De Plus himself though pic.twitter.com/yHaPm3jrNl
