Javi Moreno out of with broken collarbone
Movistar Team is down one rider at the Giro d'Italia after Javi Moreno was forced to pull out after a crash on stage 7 Friday. The Andalusian fell around 80km from Foligno's finish and was immediately assisted by the race's official medical service and the team's first team car, driven by sports director Chente García Acosta, according to a team press release.
Moreno was moved by ambulance with a neck brace on. Subsequent radiological checkups at the Giro's mobile clinic confirmed a displaced left collarbone fracture, and ruled out more serious injuries. Moreno will travel back to Spain on Friday. More details on his collarbone surgery will be confirmed after he gets back home.

Moreno was a crucial part of team leader Alejandro Valverde's support in the mountains, and his absence is no doubt a loss for the team.
