The Frenchman Cyprien Sarrazin, who yesterday set the best time in the first test of the Bormio downhill race, was the protagonist of a scary fall on the final stretch of the Stelvio. He was transported by helicopter to hospital. Sarrazin, who won last year in Bormio, flew to the bottom of the wall of San Pietro. It flew off a bump and then bounced violently on the track, before ending its run between tarpaulins and protective nets after a long slide.

The Frenchman, second in the overall downhill ranking and winner of four races last winter, was reached by rescuers and after 20 minutes was evacuated by helicopter. According to Eurosport, Sarrazin was conscious at the time of the evacuation and complained of pain in one foot. The test was interrupted again due to the fall of the Swiss Josua Mettler and restarted after a few minutes.
