Moments of fear at the Tour of Catalonia for Sonny Colbrelli. The winner of the last Paris-Roubaix fell ill immediately after crossing the finish line of the first stage, the Sant Felie de Guixols-Sant Felie de Guixols of 171 km, closed in second place in the sprint behind Michael Matthews. According to the Spanish media, the cyclist from Bahrain-Victorious, Italian and European champion on the road, underwent a heart massage immediately after his arrival: taken to the hospital in Barcelona, he would be awake and conscious. Colbrelli had been stopped by bronchitis at the Paris-Nice, and hadn’t taken the Milan-Sanremo last Saturday.
For the record, the Giro continues tomorrow with the second stage: departure from L’Escala and arrival in Perpignan after 202 km.
