On the images of local television, we see the wife of the cyclist completely chaos after an impressive shock!
But according to a follower of the benchmark event in Latin America, the young woman is doing better.
"Luis Carlos Chía's wife is fine.
She is conscious.
They sewed her four stitches and she will be under observation for a few hours to see the evolution after the blow”, explained the seasoned observer.
Luis Carlos Chia was able to get up quickly and even took part in the podium, after his victory in the sprint.
This is not the first time that this kind of recklessness has affected the Colombian "Vuelta", which some local journalists strongly criticize this Sunday evening.
