Kaden Groves defends himself after admitting that he 'indeed elbowed' Ballerini, causing the crash at stage 2 of Giro d'Italia The crash took Mark Cavendish out of contention for the final sprint cycling GirodItalia
Lloyd agreed that Groves would feel the pressure after Evenepoel namechecked him, but hoped that it did not overwhelm him with the majority of the event in Italy to come.
“So he obviously knows he’s going to be asked this question and he's teeing himself up for that. I just hope he can get himself beyond that.” Meanwhile, Cavendish will also look to bounce back himself. The 37-year-old Manxman, widely regarded as one of the best sprinters in the history, has 16 stage wins to his name at the Giro.
