Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney reports no major injuries after a dramatic crash during the Milan-San Remo Women race. The Canyon-Sram Zondacrypto leader was involved in a mass spill on the Cipressa descent, where multiple riders fell hard. Niewiadoma-Phinney emphasizes the risks involved in top-level cycling, quoting her coach: “If you don't take risk, it's not topsport.” She escapes with only road rashes and bruises, expressing gratitude for her team's support and for fellow rider Kim Le Court-Pienaar, who checked on her well-being. In contrast, Debora Silvestri of Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi suffered more severe consequences, colliding with British champion Millie Couzens and hitting a guardrail, resulting in a dangerous fall. The incident raises concerns over rider safety in high-stakes racing scenarios.
