The two Canadians and Israel-Premier Tech teammate Nadav Raisberg were involved in the same crash Wednesday on the fifth stage of the Giro
The two were involved in separate crashes Wednesday with Israel-Premier Tech teammate Nadav Raisberg going down in the same accident as Woods on the fifth stage of the Giro , which precedes the Tour de France and Spanish Vuelta on the Grand Tour calendar.
The crash left Woods 107th in the general classification standings while Israel’s Raisberg, who broke his hand, was 164th and Pickrell 169th.“My teammate, Mike Woods, fell, and I, who was riding right behind him, crashed over him and was thrown up. When I landed on my hands, I immediately knew something was broken, but I got back on the bike and prayed I was wrong.”Woods was returning to the Giro after a six-year absence, looking to complete a trifecta of Grand Tour stage victories.
The 107th edition of the Giro ends May 26 in Rome after 3,400 kilometres of racing. The Tour de France and Spanish Vuelta, the other two Grand Tour events, begin June 29 and Aug. 17, respectively.
