Andrea Tonti KO'ed, Mori continues

Andrea Tonti (Quickstep-Innergetic) ended his 2007 Giro d'Italia with a fractured nose. "In the first stage everyone wants to win because afterwards you will be good for the next twenty days," said World Champion Paolo Bettini to La Gazzetta dello Sport in regards to the Giro's first road stage.

In the rush to the line in Bosa his teammate Tonti hit the deck at 1300 metres to go, a crashed that also involved Manuele Mori (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas), Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) and Tim Klinger (Gerolsteiner).
