Crash-filled edition of Strade Bianche takes toll on peloton - Poole, Dewulf fracture collarbones, others finish with bloodied faces

Strade Bianche is no stranger to crashes, with the narrow gravel tracks and high speeds on dusty asphalt roads often leading to several incidents. However, when the live broadcast started, it was a shock to see only 30-40 riders remaining in the peloton.
