A police motorcycle traveling against the flow of traffic collided with two Pinarello-Q36.5 riders during the one-day Tre Valli Varesine in Italy.
- The police motorcyclist entered a roundabout and circled back into the path of the peloton, striking Thomas Gloag and Marcel Camprubi.
- Gloag abandoned the race and received stitches in his knee, while Camprubi continued but finished last.
- Pidcock, who finished second, said he wanted to stop racing and described himself as "mad" over the incident.
- Camprubi said riders "risk your life to race, one month after a tragic accident," a reference to Fin Tarling's August death in Portugal.
