Sunday's Trofeo Alfredo Binda was neutralised mid-race after a two-car crash outside the race caravan blocked the road ahead after 52 kilometres of racing at the third Women's WorldTour race of 2022.

On the race's Twitter account, organisers called the incident "serious" and said, "there is no way to pass through at the moment."
