'Bruises and wounds all over' for Van der Breggen and Guarischi after Giro crash
SD Worx-Protime has released an injury status update on Giro d'Italia overall leader Anna van der Breggen and her teammate Barbara Guarischi after both riders hit the deck in a crash on Friday's stage 7.
"It turned out that Van der Breggen and Guarischi sustained multiple hematomas, bruises and wounds all over their bodies," read a statement from the team. "However, they show no symptoms of a concussion, but it will be a matter of waiting to see how they get through the night for the remainder of the Giro."
Van der Breggen said she she expects to be "feeling very stiff" for the start of Saturday's stage 8, but that she hopes to feel better after a night of rest as she looks to defend her GC lead on the Colle de Finestre.
