What happened to Basso?

[Der_Kruscher]

Noticed that he was listed as DNF for yesterday but no news to be found. Anyone know the scoop?

Hurt his knee.

[BumbleBeeDave]

. . . he injured his knee in what they described as a "freak accident" while warming up for the time trial.

Blood doping needle slipped out and he fell on it? :rolleyes:

I read somewhere that he whacked his knee on his stem.

The stage before the tt it looked like he was hanging on for dear like when the pace picked up. I don't think he's trained well enough.
