Italy's Filippo Pozzato, who fractured his right wrist while causing a crash at the end of stage nine of the Giro D'Italia, did not start the 186km 10th stage from Civitavecchia to here on Tuesday.
Pozzato collided with the Australian ace Matt Goss on Monday, bringing both men down and forcing British sprint specialist Mark Cavendish to take evasive action but without apparently injuring himself.
Pozzato, the leader of the Farnese Vini team, later apologised for causing the crash.
