Britain’s Adam Yates lost nearly 14 minutes to rivals on stage two of the Giro d’Italia following a huge crash on a wet descent involving about 30 riders – which saw two of his team-mates hospitalised. <\/b><\/p>\n

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider, 33, is a contender for winning the overall pink jersey, but was bloodied and covered in mud having hit an Armco barrier at speed.<\/p>\n

Yates will be assessed by team medical staff before confirming if he will continue in the race, but his dream of emulating twin brother Simon’s phenomenal overall win<\/a> in this race last year are all but over.<\/p>\n

The 221km stage to Veliko Tarnovo – the second of three being held in Bulgaria as part of the three-week race’s Grande Partenza – was won in a sprint from a reduced group by Uruguay’s Guillermo Thomas Silva of XDS-Astana, ahead of Germany’s Florian Stork of Tudor Pro-cycling and Italy’s Giulio Ciccone of Lidl-Trek.<\/p>\n

Yates’ team-mates, Jay Vine of Australia and Marc Soler of Spain, abandoned the race after the crash and have both been taken to hospital, UAE team boss Mauro Gianetti told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

The peloton of about 183 riders approached the right-hand, downhill corner at about 60km\/h.<\/p>\n

Soler was the first rider to go down after both his wheels slid out on the wet corner, causing a huge pile-up, which also saw Britain’s Jake Stewart of NSN Cycling crash. <\/p>\n

Several riders suffered severe skin burn and ripped Lycra in the impact, after which the race was neutralised for several kilometres.<\/p>\n

Similar accidents have occurred at the Giro in recent years, as spring rain affects riders under pressure to not lose time in difficult conditions. <\/p>\n

The hot favourite for the overall pink jersey, Jonas Vingegaard, avoided the crash with 21km to go and formed part of a small breakaway group, which led much of the latter stages.<\/p>\n

He eventually finished 21st with the same time after a larger chasing group caught him in the final few metres. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
