Christophe Laporte (Visma-Lease a Bike) won’t start stage 8 of the Giro d’Italia after not fully recovering from his high-speed crash on stage 5.
Visma-Lease a Bike announced the Frenchman would be a non-starter this morning, making him the second rider from their squad to pull out after Robert Gesink left the race after the opening stage with a broken hand.
