Lotte Kopecky edged Noemi R\u00fcegg and Eleonora Gasparrini in a sprint of five to win the women\u2019s San Remo cycling race which was marred by a horrific-looking crash.<\/p>\n

Several riders were caught up in the incident, with Italy’s Debora Silvestri flung over a guardrail as she tried to avoid the pileup.<\/p>\n

Silvestri\u2019s team, Laboral Kutxa, said she was conscious as she was taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s race followed a 156km route from Genoa to San Remo.<\/p>\n

In the men’s race, a bloodied and bruised Tadej Pogacar recovered from a crash about 30km from the finish to edge out Tom Pidcock on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I crashed, for a second I thought it\u2019s all over because to crash in Imperia just before the most important part of the race is not ideal,\u201d Pogacar said.<\/p>\n

“Luckily I was quickly back on the bike and not too much damage to me or to the bike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I saw my team … they left out everything to come back to the front and they gave me back hope and the legs were still okay … today if there is no team probably I would just go straight to the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n
