T-Mobile riders Bram Schmitz and Steffen Wesemann, victims of a crash in yesterday's first stage of Driedaagse van De Panne, did not sustain serious injuries, according to a report from the ANP news agency. Wesemann was able to finish the race, but Schmitz was taken to hospital for x-rays on a suspected broken finger. However, the examination revealed that the digit was intact, and Schmitz had just sustained severe bruising and cuts, particularly to his knee.
