The Italian rider fractured his right shoulder blade when he went down, avoiding a skid in the peloton at km 140. Team Milram has announced that the 1999 Giro di Lombardia-winner will "probably" come back to competition for the Classics Amstel Gold Race and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which means that he will miss out on Milano-San Remo.
