Bad news for Fassa's Gorazd Stangelj (and the Fantasy Giro players who chose him)! While riding on a wet road, with just 2 km to the finish line, the Slovene apparently mistook a turn and crashed, consequently breaking his collarbone and suffering minor head injuries. He managed to get to the finish line, but was later taken to hospital. The East-European rider should be considered the first abandon of the 2002 Tour of Italy.
