Crash with Itzulia doctor's car left Landa with a fractured pelvis

Mikel Landa will not race the upcoming Giro d'Italia as originally planned as he recovers from an injury sustained earlier this month at the Itzulia Basque Country. The Soudal-Quick-Step rider was hit by the driver of the medical car on stage 2 and later abandoned his home stage race; the driver was disqualified from the event. Landa said on Monday that he had been "experiencing some discomfort" since the incident but only now have examinations uncovered a small fracture to his pelvis, which will keep him from racing the Giro.
