Gregor Mühlberger’s Vuelta a España ended abruptly after a crash, cutting short what he described as a period of excellent form.
The Austrian rider, a key helper for Felix Gall, withdrew from the race on Friday with a concussion and a shoulder injury. “I didn’t imagine the end of this Vuelta like this. It’s incredibly frustrating, and honestly it annoys me enormously to have to leave the team behind like this,” Mühlberger wrote on Instagram.
His early exit left him visibly disappointed after what had been a strong build-up to the race. The injury forced him to abandon his role supporting Gall and ended his participation in the Spanish stage race.
