Crazy crash at milan-sanremo womens race

That really was bad. Any word on the one rider that fell over the rail?

She was awake when taken to the hospital - recovering and “fine” with some ribs broken etc

Not finding out why original polish rider crashed causing this whole mess. Seems like she just pressed one brake after realizing she was going too fast for that turn?

Looks like Kascia hit the brakes, the tire gripped a little too hard, the front wheel turned a bit, twisted the bars under her, and that sent her down

Note that not only did Kascia get run into, she also got run OVER, while under the pile of bikes which had accumulated around her
