With Tao Geoghegan Hart suddenly crashing out of the Giro d’Italia, Remco Evenepoel already out after testing positive for COVID-19, Jay Vine is one of a number of riders happy for small mercies.  

The Australian crashed and then lost ten minutes to the GC contenders on Tuesday’s rain-soaked stage to Viareggio, but he is content just to be healthy and still in the race after a simple but costly mistake.
