There was some sad news during the third stage of the Vuelta a Colombia, when Alberto Martínez Prader, a journalist from Radio Colombiana RCN, lost his life in a car accident. The tragedy happened on the descent of La Lima, when the car carrying Martínez and his companions José Fernando López and Hector Urrego overturned. Martínez was killed, while the other two were seriously injured, but are expected to recover.
Colombia-Selle Italia team manager Gianni Savio commented, "Although it was a positive day for our team from a sporting point of view, I was not able to be happy because of the tragedy that struck not just three journalists, but three friends."
