The Brit lost control of his bike due to a caramel thrown onto the road by a Bahrain-McLaren rider in the middle of the descent terrain.
Thomas went to the ground and rolled meters, suffering several scrapes on the back, rib, arm and leg on the left side.
In fact, his blows were so hard, that on the final climb he lost step with the peloton, which is why give up more than 12 minutes in relation to the winner of the day, the Ecuadorian Jonathan Caicedo.
Consequently, the 2018 Tour de France champion and top favorite to win the title of the Giro d’Italia 2020, was practically without options to fight for the race.
In fact, his team’s website questioned its continuity noting that it will be subject to further reviews to determine the next step, although he clarified that the 34-year-old rider has no fractures.

OUCH! 🥺😪 This was the fall of Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) at the neutralized start, the fault of a jerrycan on the way. Unfortunate day for the Welshman, who lost 12 ‘on Etna.#Round # gyro103 #GiroxESPN pic.twitter.com/QSbRwB0hDz
