collided with a ferry in the Pašman Channel between Biograd na Moru and the island of Pašman the Zadar Port Authority has alleged that the yacht was without a captain at the time of the collision The incident occurred at around 22:15 near the islet of Sveta Katarina a Port Authority inspection revealed substantial damage to the yacht’s hull above the waterline leading authorities to issue a sailing ban for the yacht until repairs are completed which was en route from Biograd to Tkon (the island of Pašman) sustained damage to its railing and some deck equipment Passengers waiting for the ferry were questioned by police suggesting there might be further details or discrepancies about the collision that are not yet public the yacht is currently docked in Biograd with noticeable tilting and damage to the bow both vessels were reportedly visible on radar raising further questions about navigation monitoring systems and the competency of the senior crew on board One eyewitness claimed that the ferry was at fault for failing to yield to the yacht while another blamed the yacht for not yielding to the ferry ferries do not automatically have the right of way over all other vessels according to international rules such as the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) the right-of-way depends on the specific situation While local regulations in certain areas may grant operational precedence to ferries the responsibility for a collision between a yacht and a ferry would be assessed based on the actions of both vessels and their adherence to maritime rules. So, it is not necessarily accurate to assume that the Lady Eleganza crew were solely responsible due to a presumed right-of-way for the ferry According to the Croatian Ministry of the Sea

sprint to perfection Iúri Leitão (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) stole a march on the major teams on stage 2 of the CRO Race to claim the victory with a well-timed long charge for the line Race leader and stage 1 winner Elia Viviani (Ineos Grenadiers) did his utmost to regain lost ground after Leitão launched his sneak attack with some 250 metres to go But the Italian had too much ground to make up romping past Alexander Kristoff (Uno-X) for second but failing to reach the Portuguese racer "This is a great victory for me and the whole team because it came against big competitors from the World Tour I'm thankful to my team for their trust in me and I'm happy to finally have justified that trust The relatively short stage worked well for us as it allowed us to save some energy for the very finish," stated Leitão after the stage.  punchy day of racing between Biograd na Moru to Novalja saw a four-man break go clear early on but the sprinters' teams were able to shut things down well before the finishing circuit Leitão then upstaged all the big names with his well-timed late move Leitão’s teammate and Venezuelan National Champion Orluis Aular was also a key contributing factor to Caja Rural-Seguros RGA collectively upsetting the applecart.  Aular swooped across the front of the peloton and then let the wheel go just after Leitão had darted away in classic track specialist style.  Then the gently curving left-hand bend leading to the finish line made it impossible for the opposition to get back on terms and the win was in the bag "Today we had the intention of preparing the sprint for me that is why the team has worked perfectly all day to leave me in front as comfortable as possible I already noticed that I felt good," Leitão said "The teammates were phenomenal during the stage highlighting the help of Orluis [Aular] at the end to overtake cyclists in the last 3 kilometers I had legs and that's why I decided to attack soon." dry weather and a very short stage distance encouraged a fast start and it took some time for the main early move to crystallize for good.  The breakaway that ultimately formed contained Kristijan Koren (Adria Mobil) Jan Kaspar (ATT Investments) and Marvin Hammerschmid (Hrinkow Advarics).  their chances of staying away were painfully uncertain Skok was the first to get dropped of the four visibly cramping while the trio battled on bravely Then on the first of a last brace of climbs with some 25 kilometres to go Lidl-Trek piled on the power to shred the threesome's lead to the bare minimum continued to stretch out the much-reduced bunch over the top and claim the mountains points two-lane road as they moved uphill away from the coast virtually nobody was dropped by the time they reached the summit the front group was still nearly 100 riders strong as the race approached the technical one-lap finishing circuit and a second bunch sprint in as many days looked all but certain The stage finally burst into some sort of semblance of life in the fast descent to the finishing city touching speeds of 60km/h as the different lines of some of the big-name teams - Ineos The peloton then blasted through the gently curving finish with 4.4 kilometres to go moving onto a technical circuit consisting of multiple bends and a few grinding Fighting to keep Viviani in position at the end of a four-man line of riders Ineos Grenadiers teammates Luke Plapp and Magnus Sheffield first found themselves seeing off Bahrain Victorious only to have to contend with an equally aggressive Q36.5 and Jayco-AIUIa The British squad’s control of affairs subsequently crumbled in the increasingly fraught finale and when Caja Rural-Seguros RGA pulled off the collective heist none of the rival teams had a quick enough answer to stop them Viviani still remains in the overall lead for stage 3’s 133km ride from Otačac to Opatija after Wednesday’s surprise result - but with just six seconds to spare on Leitão overall and the rest of the peloton close behind the top spot in the CRO Race remains very much up for grabs for now Results powered by FirstCycling Alasdair FotheringhamSocial Links NavigationAlasdair Fotheringham
