Roberto Ferrari (Lampre Merida) was one of the two victims of the run in with what was apparently a neutral service vehicle. The details of what happen were rather sketchy, but the end result had Ferrari and Damiano Cunego (Nippo Vini Fantini) bloody and on the tarmac. Ferrari was able to get back up and resume the stage, Cunego however saw his Giro come to an end. The pair had been well place in a large breakaway that had gain the largest gap in the race thus far, leaving Cunego to wonder what might have been. After he was back on the bike, Ferrari dropped back to the race doctor to get his wounds cleaned and a healthy dose of anti-bacterial spray. Once he had been seen to, there was nothing to do but rejoin the peloton and hope for a better day tomorrow.
