Adam Yates out of Giro d'Italia with concussion after crash
- On Saturday, a massive pile-up during Stage 2 of the Giro d'Italia in Bulgaria forced UAE Team Emirates-XRG podium contender Adam Yates and teammates Jay Vine and Marc Soler to abandon the race.
- Rain-Soaked roads on the 221km ride from Burgas to Veliko Tarnovo caused the crash, where around 30 riders hit the deck after a teammate lost traction on a slippery descent with 22km remaining.
- Dr. Adrian Rotunno, UAE Team Emirates' medical director, confirmed on Sunday that Vine suffered a concussion and elbow fracture, while Soler sustained a fractured pelvis; neither requires surgery.
- Yates withdrew Sunday after showing delayed concussive symptoms, joining other non-starters Santiago Buitrago, Andrea Vendrame, and Adne Holter, who also abandoned following Saturday's treacherous conditions.
- Sunday's Stage 3, a 175km run from Plovdiv to Sofia, continues the Giro d'Italia, reflecting the ongoing risks of modern cycling where high speeds and high stakes frequently combine.
