Giro d'Italia Stage 5: Crashes and Controversy.

Alberto Dainese of Team DSM was relegated to last position in the group and fined 500CHF for a dangerous sprint that caused Mark Cavendish to crash dramatically over the finish line in Salerno during stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia. Dainese appeared to cut across Cavendish's path, causing his front wheel to hit Dainese's rear wheel and flinging him over to the right. Several other riders were also taken out in the crash, with Andrea Vendrame of AG2R Citroën suffering a shoulder separation and a wound that requires stitches.
