Euskaltel-Euskadi rider Alberto Lopez De Munain is under observation in hospital after a serious crash in the second stage of the Giro d'Italia. Lopez De Munain hit a guard rail some 40km from the stage finish, landing on his head and left side, but subsequent x-rays and CAT scan revealed no fractures to the skull.
However, he is reported to have sustained a broken collarbone and broken ribs, and is being kept under observation overnight in hospital in the town of Cetraro.
