Alessandro Petacchi's Fassa Bortolo team has confirmed that the Italian sprinter will start the Eneco Benelux Tour on Wednesday.
Team doctors say that Petacchi does not need surgery to the hand injury he sustained in a crash in Sunday's HEW-Cyclassics-Cup in Hamburg. Petacchi fell 15km from the finish as the peloton descended the Waseberg and fractured a bone in his little finger..
