The cyclist Sonny Colbrelli, second classified in the first stage of the Volta a Catalunya, had to receive a cardiac massage when crossing the finish line and has been transferred to a hospital, according to sources from the organization.
The Italian, European champion, fainted after making an intense sprint uphill with the Australian Michael Matthews, the winner of the stage.
He was quickly treated by medical assistance and transferred by ambulance.
The images generated a lot of nerves since Colbrelli was treated on the asphalt and protected, as a matter of protocol, by a blanket.
The runner arrived at the hospital conscious.
The 31-year-old cyclist, from the Bahrain Victorious team, arrived at the Volta carrying severe bronchitis, which had prevented him from participating last Saturday in Milan-San Remo.
