Kaden Groves celebrated his victory on stage 7 of the Giro d'Italia but expressed deep concern for teammate Juri Hollmann, who suffered injuries from a crash during the race. Groves, who avoided the crash, stated he had mixed feelings due to not knowing the full extent of Hollmann's injuries. He praised Hollmann for his contributions to the team, expressing that the win was dedicated to him. The crash was described as serious, with early indications suggesting a potential broken arm for Hollmann.
No Grand Tour stage win is ever unwelcome, and sprinter Kaden Groves was doubtless in part delighted to be able to celebrate the victory on stage 7 of the Giro d'Italia. However, Groves' concern for his injured teammate Juri Hollmann was also uppermost in his mind in his winner's press conference on Thursday in Naples.
We are still not sure what the verdict is with Juri. It was a very nasty crash for a lot of riders, and a neutralisation came after, so I've got a lot of mixed feelings right now.
But my thoughts are with Juri, he's played a big part in the team in the last days, he also made so many sacrifices to get here in good shape, he was super unlucky to be injured today. So this win is for him.
It was a slippery road, a touch of wheels, someone brakes and maybe slips, and it causes a chain reaction, so these crashes happen. There's not a lot you can do about it, I just hope the guys are not too bad.
