Pidcock 'okay' after crashing into ravine in Catalunya

Tom Pidcock started stage 5 of the Volta a Catalunya as a GC contender but finished the day merely grateful to have emerged from a scary crash relatively unscathed. The Brit went down off-camera on a late descent and was thus conspicuously absent from the lead group on the final climb. He later explained that he had fallen into a ravine. "I was drinking on the descent and misjudged a corner," he said. "I overshot it and went down the ravine. It was like one of these horror crashes you see, but I am okay. I’ll go for a check, but I think I’m okay. I am lucky I could talk on the radio. I was far from the road and nobody knew I was there. I’m happy I could finish the stage."
