He died... from a knee injury? That's just... horrible.

Yes, sepsis resulting from infection due to a knee infjury. It's unbelievable that this is happening in 2026.
He has died in Asturias; he was with the team although he wasn´t participating due to the injury.
Reading that article, I remembered him. He won a stage in the Giro Next Gen ahead of Almeida and Vlasov. UAE signed him, but he didn't achieve good results.

There really isn't much about it being 2026 that magically makes sepsis any less dangerous. Infections can be hard to find especially if pain can be attributed to an injury rather than an infection and once sepsis sets in it's just a race against time to try and save someone.Yes, sepsis resulting from infection due to a knee infjury.

That said, there is still the chance that either or both hospitals are at fault if there were actual signs of infection that were ignored and not treated properly.

If the reports are accurate, he died first and foremost from a complete failure in terms of medical treatment. To die from sepsis is one thing because it's a difficult beast to tame, to die from sepsis stemming from an injury the hospital discharged you with mere days ago is another entirely. Of course, it's possible that the French medical staff in question advised against it but were not heeded so I don't want to point fingers, but in any case it seems that someone made a decision that has turned out to be fatal. RIP.
I want to clarify that I commented on what was published in that Colombian media outlet. It doesn't specify that it was negligence.

Man gets admitted to hospital with an apparently pretty major knee wound, is discharged, gets on a flight to a foreign country (as opposed to resting up), then gets readmitted to hospital in said country with a severe infection to said wound - that's not a timeline that happens without at least one terrible decision by at least one person involved.

It wouldn't be the first time that a rider, or any human really, has been unlucky with the hospital they ended up at and/or with the doctors that treated them (some of those cases have occurred in France, but generally speaking it sounds like there's just a higher risk of it happening in a country where the patient doesn't speak the local language), but it usually only impacts the length/quality of the recovery process. We don't know if any major mistakes were made in this specific case, but this is obviously the worst possible outcome.

Back to the race, Nairoman is putting the hurt on, but Pericas is still with him. Samu Fernández and Juaristi have to do the pulling behind while Pescador can just sit on.

I am not sure who won the bonus sprint, but with the current gap it will be the stage winner who gets the blue jersey. The gap is way too big for Pescador to bridge across, if he has the legs, but he can keep Fernández from taking seconds on the line.

Given your comments on X, if you are the same Ilmaestro99, it's strange that you support Nairo
I´d have liked Samuel Fernandez to win. He's been trying hard at OGC and yesterday in Asturias, but Juaristi hasn't helped him. He deserves a victory.

Beating 19 year olds is no longer frowned upon, unless you're Roglič who prefers to move to the front, look them in the eyes and then drop like a stone.
It seems that Pericas was completely cooked because he doesn't even appear in the reference.
Edit. Now he appears, still second.

I thought Marc Soler would be here to get a couple of wins, but on PCS he's down to do all 3 GTs and Suisse, trying for the ultra-rare 100 race day season.

Nairo actually looked as springy and fresh as a teenager today. A shame he isn't racing against Pozzovivo.
Great and smart ride by Juaristi, and admirable defending from Fernández.

Nairoman's first win since a stage and the overall Tour des Alpes-Maritime in February 2022. Impressive. Remarkable.
