The team announces that, following the crash that occurred during yesterday’s stage, Alessandro Pinarello will not start today’s stage of the Giro d’Italia, from Potenza to Naples.

Medical examinations carried out in the past few hours have revealed a fracture of the scaphoid bone in his left hand. As a result, the rider is forced to withdraw from the Corsa Rosa and will need to undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation.

The entire team stands by Alessandro and wishes him a speedy recovery.
