Injury forces Brambilla out of European championships
A persistent saddle sore has forced Etixx-QuickStep's Gianluca Brambilla out of this Sunday's UEC European championships road race, according to a statement released by the team.
Brambilla, who recently won stage 15 of the Vuelta a Espana, started experiencing pain from the saddle sore on the Vuelta's final day, and the team said that an examination on Wednesday revealed he needs at least three days of inactivity to fully recover.

"I am very sad, because I was eager to race the European Championships in Plumelec," said Brambilla, who was second earlier this year at the Italian Championships. "I wish all the best to my countrymen, will support them from the front of my TV. Concerning me, I will be on my bike as soon as the doctor gives me the OK and start preparing for my final goal of the season, Il Lombardia."
The team said an examination next week will determine when Brambilla can return to competition.
