The Alavés MikelLanda (Soudal Quick Step) will not leave in the third stage of the Tour gaur starting and ending in Basauri. The decision was made following the fall he suffered yesterday, Tuesday, in the descent of San Miguel de Aralar, 9.5 kilometers from the finish line.

Although it has no fracture, given the results of yesterday's radiological tests on the Murgia cyclist, the team has reported that leaving the test is the best decision.

"After the accident in the second stage of the tour, Mikel Landa was taken to the hospital to check his condition," Soudal explained in a statement.

He then stated that "the tests carried out showed that there was no rupture, and Michael rested well." He added, however, that "with the intention of fully recovering, it is best to leave the race."

Despite the accident, Landa was able to reach the finish line, ranked 67, with the winner and leader Paul Seixas at 13 minutes.
