Giro 2026: many withdraw after massive crash, Santiago Buitrago also unable to finish

The massive crash during the second stage of the 2026 Giro d'Italia caused many casualties. It was already clear that Marc Soler and Jay Vine had been taken to hospital, but now we also see that Santiago Buitrago can no longer continue their Giro d’Italia.

Jay Vine, Marc Soler, Santiago Buitrago, and Adne Holter. These are the names of the riders who did not reach the finish of the second Giro stage. The mentioned riders have been or will be taken to hospital for further examination. Vine and Soler were considered stage hunters at UAE Emirates XRG, Vlasov was supposed to help Giulio Pellizzari to the stage win, and Buitrago was the team leader for Bahrain Victorious.

For a moment, it also seemed that Aleksandr Vlasov from Red Bull-BORA hansgrohe had not finished the stage, but the climber ended up 'just' in the second group along with riders like Derek Gee-West.
