It might as well have been Friday the 13th for EF Education-EasyPost this week as the team lost two riders at the Volta ao Algarve to crash injuries.

Worst off was former world champion Rui Costa, who crashed heavily with 70km to go on stage 3 and was diagnosed with a broken right scapula and collarbone and a concussion.
