Tao Geoghegan Hart says he is ‘devastated’ after crashing out of the Giro d’Italia on Stage 11

Tao Geoghegan Hart has admitted to being “devastated” after crashing out of the Giro d’Italia.

He left Stage 11 in an ambulance following a collision which saw numerous riders fall, including his Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Geraint Thomas in the leader’s pink jersey, and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma).

With 68km remaining, the front three racers in the general classification slid off the road on a corner.

Thomas and Roglic were able to re-mount and re-join the peloton but 2020 champion Geoghegan Hart had to be stretchered away from the race.

He has taken to social media to update fans and said: “I’m devastated this is how my giro ended. Thankyou all for your messages and support.

“I was so excited about the remainder of this race and loving every minute of it.

“Arrivederci Giro d’Italia.”

Speaking following the stage, Thomas said Geoghegan Hart’s withdrawal was a “big loss” for Ineos.
The longest day of the Giro d’Italia was won by Germany’s Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates), who pipped Italy’s Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious).

It was a photo finish to confirm the winner at the end of the gruelling 219km stage to Tortona.

Stage 12 sees racers take on a 179km parcours from Bra to Rivoli on Thursday. It features two categorised climbs and could see a breakaway take the day.
