With breakneck speeds (of up to 100km/h!) riders "sprinted" from the Albulapass (2312m) towards the finish 5km further down.<br />
2 riders overshot a corner (on the very same spot) and landed deep down in a raveen and were stopped by a little concrete plateau.<br />
SHEFFIELD Magnus (USA/INEOS grenadiers) miraculously got up some time after, but was clearly in a state of shock while MÄDER Gino (SUI/Bahrain-Victorious) was less fortunate as he needed to be reanimated (for over 20 minutes) and eventually was helicoptered out.<br />
This kind of finish (at the end of a high speed descent) was critisized by ceveral riders afterwards as 'too dangerous'.<br />
<br />
Stage 5 from Fiesch to La Punt (211km/SUI) of the 86th Tour de Suisse 2023 (2.UWT)<br />
