Win and Shock in Cycling Race
166
There was a big bike race in Italy. It is called Milan-Sanremo. Tadej Pogacar won for the men. This is his first win in this race.
The win was not easy. Pogacar crashed 32 kilometers before the finish. He fell down in a curve. He hurt his leg. But he got back on his bike right away.
He caught the other riders fast. At the end there was a sprint. Pogacar was faster than Tom Pidcock. He crossed the finish line first. Wout van Aert came in third.
Pogacar has now won almost all big one-day races. Only one win in France is missing. He is very proud of his success.
The women also rode a race. There was a bad accident during it. The Italian Debora Silvestri crashed hard. She flew over a guardrail.
She fell several meters deep to the ground. Medics took her to a hospital. Her condition is stable, thank goodness. Lotte Kopecky won the women's race.
