It may have been a dream for Tiffany Cromwell (Canyon-SRAM) to line up at a revived women's Milan-San Remo, an event close to her European home, but it wasn't long before the race also delivered a less welcome career first – broken bones.

The Australian, who hit the deck at only 25km into the 156km race, had to step away from Milan-San Remo, clutching her shoulder in the tell-tale sign of an all too regular cycling injury.
