Pro cyclist Remco Evenepoel literally put his blood, sweat and maybe even some tears into his recent race ... 'cause the athlete was left gushing from the face after crashing into a woman in the crowd.
The scary incident happened on Monday ... after the Belgian star crossed the finish line to win stage three of La Vuelta a España.
In footage of the accident, the 23-year-old is shown zooming directly toward a large group of people after the race ... and a collision was inevitable.
Evenepoel couldn't slow down in enough time to prevent ramming into the crowd .
