"I'm fine. Now I must rest for a few days. I could have done nothing to avoid it," he told the Spanish website. He was accompanied by several riders at the time of the accident.

According to El Correo, the Basque cyclist was hit in Erletxes (Bizkaia) and was taken to hospital by ambulance with "a strong blow to the back."
