Police motorcycle collision during Tre Valli Varesine

Overview

During the Tre Valli Varesine cycling race in Italy, riders Marcel Camprubí and Thomas Gloag of the Pinarello-Q36.5 team were involved in a collision with a police motorcycle. The incident occurred at a roundabout open to traffic while the riders were descending at approximately 70 km/h.

While the peloton was able to maneuver around the motorcycle, Camprubí and Gloag could not avoid the vehicle. Gloag struck the motorcycle with his body and was forced to retire from the race, requiring stitches for a knee injury.
