The accident that occurred just 4 kilometers from the finish left consequences for Spanish cyclist Mikel Landa, who fell in the Fresco area.
The 35-year-old spent the night in Tirana hospital, while doctors indicate that the situation is serious, writes A2 CNN.
According to them, it turns out that he has suffered a vertebral fracture and the athlete is expected to be transferred to Italy soon to begin his rehabilitation phase there.
Landa was one of the main contenders to win this race. He lost control on a curve and crashed into a lamppost. Two other cyclists fell behind him, but fortunately without injuries.
The 13.4 km long speed race is currently underway, with the winner receiving over 11,000 euros in prize money. The second stage ends around 17:00, writes A2 CNN. (A2 Televizion)
