After crashing on stage 16, Britain’s Josh Tarling was forced to resign from the Giro d’Italia.
Tarling, a 21-year-old Ineos Grenadiers rider, slid into a barrier early on Tuesday’s stage after colliding heavily on a wet surface.
The Welsh rider’s success came when he won the stage two time trial and his first Grand Tour stage victory.
On stage 10, Tarling finished second, seven seconds behind Dutchman Daan Hoole, who had previously been successful in the race’s second time trial.
As the race resumed in heavy rain on Monday’s second rest day, Tarling was a part of a seven-rider breakaway that had a 30-second lead over the peleton.
The Welshman’s body struck the barrier as his bike slid out of a roundabout.
The 2023 European time trial champion was confirmed by Ineos Grenadiers.
Following a collision on the current stage, Josh Tarling, according to the team, has regrettably had to leave the Giro d’Italia.
He is being evaluated further by our team doctor, who is with him. As soon as possible, we’ll keep you informed of his condition.
