Two weeks after resuming training - at the end of January he had been involved in a bad crash at the AlUla Tour, requiring thirty stitches on his back - Davide Stella was training on the roads near his home when he was hit by a car during a training session. The UAE Emirates Gen Z rider was rushed to the hospital with a diagnosis of knee trauma, but the consequences could have been far more serious.

The nineteen-year-old from Friuli posted a video filmed while he was at the scene of the accident, which also shows the ambulance and law enforcement officers who arrived promptly after the incident was reported.
