Helicopter blows crush barriers and two riders of Vini Zabu to the ground | Giro

The crash was not in the picture, but after the finish Etienne van Empel and Luca Wackermann were moaning on the ground.

According to reports on the Italian channel RAI, the duo of Vini Zabu was hit by the crowd barriers.

The fence would then have been released by a helicopter flying too low along the coastline.

According to the first report, Wackermann is the worst victim.

He was conscious, but did not recognize his sports director.

The Italian was included in the daily result, but was taken to hospital. There is a fear of a broken cheekbone.

Van Empel could finish. “I’m fine. I have some cuts to my fingers. I’m not sure what happened, but suddenly the fences in our group blew. I hope there will soon be good news about Luca”, the Dutchman writes on Twitter.
