Josh Tarling injured his lower back in a crash at the Giro d'Italia early in stage 16 in the rain, an incident which forced him to abandon the race.
The Ineos Grenadiers rider had made the day's breakaway, which was established in the first 20km of the stage. Pouring rain created treacherous conditions, and on a roundabout, the 21-year-old slid out, hitting a barrier on the side of the road as a result.
