Tom Pidcock has been ruled out of Milan-San Remo after being diagnosed with mild concussion stemming from his crash at Tirreno-Adriatico.

The Ineos Grenadiers leader won Strade Bianche with a 50km solo attack but then then crashed twice at Tirreno-Adriatico, the second crash on stage 7 caused the mild concussion and on Wednesday Ineos made decision to prescribe a period of rest in line with established concussion protocols.
