Former UAE rider Cristian Camilo Muñoz dies of infection after crash

Cristian Camilo Muñoz, a member of the Nu Colombia Continental team who rode with UAE Team Emirates from 2019 to 2021, has died after developing an infection following a crash at the Tour du Jura on Saturday. The crash left him with a knee injury that required stitches, and the 30-year-old Colombian was sent home from the hospital, joining his team in Spain for the Vuelta Asturias. "Once the team arrived in Oviedo, Spain, Cristian was re-evaluated at a clinic, where the medical staff detected a difficult-to-treat infection that required further specialized care," Nu Colombia said in a press release. "In the last few hours, his clinical condition worsened, and despite all the efforts of the medical team, Cristian passed away on Friday morning."
