Alberto Dainese (Team DSM) was punished for a dangerous sprint after stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia, after appearing to cut across Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan), who went on to crash dramatically over the finish line in Salerno.
Dainese crossed the line in fourth place in the messy sprint finish but was later relegated to last position in the group he was in – the reduced bunch that reached the finish together after the two crashes in the final 10km.
