Canadian riders Michael Woods and Riley Pickrell are out of the Giro d’Italia.
The two Canadians and Israel-Premier Tech teammate Nadav Raisberg were involved in the same crash Wednesday on the fifth stage of the Giro, which precedes the Tour de France and Spanish Vuelta on the Grand Tour calendar.
Israel-Premier Tech said Woods was ruled out after showing symptoms of a mild concussion overnight while Pickrell, whose face bore the brunt of the crash, was held out of the race in the wake of “some slight confusion.”
The crash left Woods 107th in the general classification standings while Israel’s Raisberg, who broke his hand, was 164th and Pickrell 169th.
