Egan Bernal and Mikel Landa involved in serious San Sebastian crash

With just under 20km of racing remaining the peloton slowed down and at least a dozen riders either fell or were held up.

Bernal and Landa were the most seriously injured. Both riders remained on the tarmac as medical teams rushed to their aid. The riders were seen being placed in neck braces. The full extent of their injuries are still unclear but Team Sky released an update on their rider.

"Egan Bernal: Egan is awake following his crash and has suffered a serious facial trauma. He is having a scan now to assess injuries fully," the team posted on their Twitter account.

Movistar updated the cycling community with news on Landa, confirming that he too had been taken to hospital for check-ups. The rider was complaining of pain in his back.
