Giro de Italia 2021
A falta de 4 kilómetros para la meta en Cattolica, durante la quinta etapa, el ciclista de Bahrain-Victorious fue derribado en una curva y tuvo que abandonar con fuertes dolores. Salió en ambulancia rumbo al hospital.
Itzulia 2024
Landa vivió otro amargo episodio en casa durante la Vuelta al País Vasco 2024. Landa fue trasladado al hospital en ambulancia tras sufrir una dura caída y abandonó así en el transcurso de la 5ª etapa de la ronda vasca que se disputaba entre Vitoria y Amorebieta Etxano. Fue en la misma Itzulia donde Vingegaard, Roglic y Evenepoel también se fueron al suelo.
