He has, like Toronto\u2019s Noah Ramsay (Alpecin-Premier Tech) or Ashlin Barry (Visma-Lease a Bike) ridden several times with the WorldTour team, including the current Tour of the Alps. Unfortunately, he went down pretty hard on Wednesday.<br \/>His team posted an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RBH_ProCycling\" rel=\"nofollow\">update<\/a>. \u201cUnfortunately, Lorenzo Finn was involved in a mass crash right after the start of today\u2019s Stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps. In the heavy crash, he suffered a broken wrist. We wish Lorenzo a speedy recovery and also send our best wishes to all other riders involved,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n<p>Pidcock triumphs<\/p>\n<p>Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team\u2019s Tom Pidcock bounced back to win Stage 3 of the Tour of the Alps. It was just two days after he said he had, \u201cthe worst day ever on the bike.\u201d The 174.5-km Laces\u2013Arco stage featured more than 3,600 m of climbing and was disrupted early by the crash involving Finn and company.<\/p>\n<p>That forced a lengthy neutralization and several abandons. A late break by Sam Oomen and Darren Rafferty was reeled in inside five km, setting up a reduced sprint. Pidcock was delivered to the front and beat Tommaso Dati, with Egan Bernal third. Derek Gee-West finished 20th, moving up to 22nd overall after losing time earlier. The Canadian national champ said he didn\u2019t feel great on Stage 2, but the racing miles in the hill are all part of the plan as he ramps up for the upcoming Giro d\u2019Italia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Tuesday I made my first major effort in a long time. It was quote a shock to my body. But I needed it,\u201d he to CyclingPro.net after Stage 2. The Giro is a big goal for the Lidl-Trek rider. In 2025, he finished just off the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s stage<\/p>\n<p>Stage 4 is another tough day of climbing. Well, every day of the Tour of the Alps is lumpy, as you can imagine. Friday\u2019s penultimate stage features two Cat. 1 climbs, going from Arco to Trento for a total of 167.8km. Saturday\u2019s Stage 5 finishes in Bolzano, Italy and is hardly a walk in il parco.<\/p>\n<p>Only 128.6km but a brutal Cat. 1 just 30 km from the finish, with another kicker right after and a descent to cap off the stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of many exciting young riders in the pro ranks, Italian Lorenzo Finn (Red Bull \u2013 BORA \u2013&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[50,23804,3636,25686],"class_list":{"0":"post-54252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-alps","8":"tag-alps","9":"tag-derek-gee-west","10":"tag-tom-pidcock","11":"tag-tour-of-the-alps"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116453816667249335","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
