The Frenchman’s adventure at the Corsa Rosa ended just one day before reaching Verona.

Florian Sénéchal has been forced to abandon the Giro d’Italia after crashing during the penultimate stage of this year’s race, Feltre – Croce d’Aune (194 kilometers).

Medical examinations later revealed that the 25-year-old Frenchman – victorious earlier this season at Le Samyn, where he scored his first pro win – has suffered a broken collarbone. Florian, who two days ago, at Santa Maria di Sale, came close to a maiden stage podium in a Grand Tour, will now travel back to Belgium for further examination, after which a plan for his recovery will be made.
