Kristoff crashes out of Tour of Oman finale with deep arm wound
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Alexander Kristoff was targeting a second successive win on the Mattrah Corniche on the final stage of the Tour of Oman, and hoping to book-end his 2019 race on a winning note. However the UAE Team Emirates sprinter was unable to finish the race after a heavy crash left him with deep lacerations on his arm and knee. The crash occurred with just over 50km of the largely flat stage remaining, and affected a chunk of the peloton, including second-placed Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain-Merida), who was able to remount and finish despite significant road rash.  Kristoff didn`t get off so lightly and immediately exited the race with blood flowing from his left arm and knee.ADVERTISEMENT `We went through a big town before and there was a big fight. I donīt really know why there was a such a big fight because it was still quite far to the finish,` Kristoff told Cyclingnews after the wounds had been patched up. `I was actually trying to take it a little easy because I didn`t see the reason to fight, so I was sitting in the last part of the pack. Then the crash happened in the middle. I was on the right side and the crash moved from the middle to the right, unfortunately for me - if it had moved to the left I would have been fine. `I almost managed to brake, but then I hit a bike and crashed over into a pile of people and bikes and then I think I hit a lot of equipment, because it didn`t hurt so bad but I cut myself really bad. So for sure I went into the bikes and cut myself on something on the bikes.` On to the UAE Tour You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
