Jhonatan Narvaez has dropped out of the Giro d’Italia, his team said on Friday, ending the Ecuadorian’s bid for the points jersey currently held by Paul Magnier.
UAE rider Narvaez abandoned the race not long after the start of Friday’s punishing 19th stage which will be key to Jonas Vingegaard’s bid to win his first Giro.
“Yesterday (Thursday), the Ecuadorean suffered a small crash on the transfer back to the bus which left him in some discomfort on the challenging terrain today,” said UAE in a statement.
“He goes home with three stage wins in the back pocket and two stints in the ciclamino (points jersey).”
