Jhonatan Narv\u00e1ez<\/a> has abandoned the Giro d’Italia<\/a>. The Ecuadorian of UAE Team Emirates-XRG<\/a> lit up the Giro d\u2019Italia<\/a> with attacking racing and won no fewer than three stages<\/a>, but things have gone less well for him in recent days. He abandoned in the opening phase of stage 19, which means the team must now continue with only four riders in the final stages.<\/p>\n

UAE Team Emirates-XRG began the Giro d\u2019Italia in the most unfortunate way possible. In stage 2 in Bulgaria, almost the entire team came down hard in a wet descent. Marc Soler and Jay Vine broke a lot of bones, and leader Adam Yates also had to abandon after suffering a concussion. The Emirates squad had to continue with a new mission.<\/p>\n

And that mission got off to a rocket start as soon as the race entered Italy. Narv\u00e1ez won stage 4 in a thinned-out bunch sprint. The fun did not end there, because Igor Arrieta also won two stages. Later in the second week, Narv\u00e1ez struck again twice.

Narv\u00e1ez lit up the purplejersey fightWith his attacking style, the little all-rounder even rode himself into the purple points jersey<\/a>. But in recent days he has been a bit below his earlier Giro level. On paper, stage 18 was made for him, but on the final, difficult climb he could not follow the best riders. He played no role in the sprint, which meant winner Paul Magnier would take back the points jersey. After the finish, RAI also reported that he had hit the bus.That he was suffering became clear early in stage 19<\/a>. The Ecuadorian champion was immediately visible at the back of the peloton and dropped back towards the team car. Mechanical issue? No, it turned out simply to be a case of not being able to continue: later the news came through that Narv\u00e1ez would abandon. UAE Team Emirates-XRG will have to see out the final three days with Arrieta, Mikkel Bjerg, Jan Christen and Ant\u00f3nio Morgado \u2014 four riders in total.Tweet not found<\/p>\n
