168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sep Vanmarcke is determined to finish the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a Espana.  Not even🎐 falling 40 meter down a ravine is going to stop him.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Garmin-Cervelo rider, along with BM🌞C'S Karsten Kroon, went over a guardrail on the descent of the Puerto de la Ventana on the Vuelta's fourteenth stage.

They were riding with Lampre's Daniel Righi when “suddenly there was a sharp left. We could not really see that coming,” he told Het Nieuwsblad.  “The Lampre rider pulled 🐟in front of me and I could not avoid him. We almost flew along at high speed over the guardrail i⭕nto the abyss.”

“I kept floating through tꦛhe air.  That's it, I thought.  The buck stop♈s here.  It's over for me.”

&l🔯dquo;I crashed twice on the ground, with several trees involved, and suddenly I was on the ground. Just before the river. I scrambled right upꦬ and heard nothing and nobody. I tried to climb the hill, but it was too steep. The pulled me up with branches.”

Finally back on the road, he – of course – got back on the bike and rode on. Not that ☂it was easy. “It was a crucifixion. Everything hurt. I was in shock. Two hours on a stretch on my bike🃏 crying."

Teammate Andreas Klier helped him up to the grupetto, and then he 🍌still had to face the grueling final 16km climb up La Farrapona, with the help of teammate Andreas Klier and Stijn Devolder. “I will remain eternally grateful. They literally pushed me upward. Without them I would not have made it.”

Once the stage was over, he was taken to hospital in Oviedo. Late last night he was given the good news that although his back and neck are bruised, and with his whole body covered with scrap༒es and abrasions, nothing was broken.

For Vanmarcke it was clear. He would be at the start again on Sunday, even though his team management is opposed to the idea. “I will ride through t♌o Madrid.  Nothing can stop me.”

Kroon was not so lucky. He was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:forced to withdraw from the race with a broken arm.
