Fassa Bortolo's Claudio Corioni, who had to pull out of the Tour de France on Stage 8, has been diagnosed with a microfracture of his left knee by Professor Terragnoli in Brescia. The team's doctor, Massimo Besnati, said that "Corioni will have to have anti-inflammatory therapy and should rest completely for three weeks. He risked breaking the tendon in his knee if Claudio had kept riding."
