Kroon out of Vuelta after high-speed crash

Karsten Kroon (BMC) and Sep Vanmarcke (Garmin-Cervelo) crashed out of the winning 18-man break on the high-speed descent of the Puerto de La Ventana, approximately 111 kilometres into the 173.2km 14th stage at the Vuelta a Espana. The BMC Dutchman and Garmin-Cervelo Belgian both hit a guardrail and plummeted into a 30 metre-deep, wooded ravine alongside the race route.
