According to reports, the Giro d'Italia organisers have ejected the AG2R Citroën team car from the race after the team's sports director struck Carlos Verona (Movistar) and caused him to crash while driving behind the breakaway.
During stage 19 to Tre Cime Lavaredo, Verona could be seen with his shorts torn open on his right hip and a large patch of road rash from the incident.
