AG2R's Italian climber Domenico Pozzovivo will not take part in Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège after suffering broken ribs as a result of a crash in today's stage of the Giro del Trentino.

The 30-year-old was sitting 13th overall in the Giro del Trentino after stage 2, having finished the previous stage's major uphill finish just nine seconds off the pace of Bradley Wiggins and Vincenzo Nibali.

According to the AG2R La Mondiale team, the injuries will not affect Pozzovivo's participation in the upcoming Giro d'Italia.

The team has not yet decided who will replace him in Sunday's La Doyenne.
