An unfortunate crash set Medeiros back to a 29th-place finish amongst his competitors. <\/p>\n<p>Medeiros explained that he had collided with Lazar \u0110uki\u0107 twice, leading to his falls. \u0110uki\u0107\u00a0had apparently stepped on one of his pedals too hard, slowing Medeiros down enough to crash. It is unclear if Medeiros&#8217; crash was from the side or a rear-end. On the second occasion, Medeiros tried to maintain the inside track on \u0110uki\u0107, which he said was an advantage his peer tried to eliminate. <\/p>\n<p>Medeiros didn&#8217;t want to give up his positioning, thrusting him into another crash. \u0110uki\u0107 would take 35th place. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think he [\u0110uki\u0107] wanted me to be on the inside, so he tried to squeeze me out,\u201d Medeiros said. \u201cI could have braked and gone around him, but I didn\u2019t want to brake &#8230; I don\u2019t think either of us wanted to fall, so I don\u2019t think either one of [the collisions] was on purpose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Once it was time for the &#8220;Pig Chipper,&#8221; Medeiros was visibly shaken and managed only to recover enough for a 37th-place finish: the worst workout result of his young career. \u0110uki\u0107 would take second place behind overall leader Roman Khrennikov. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CvgO7iet1SO\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
