Overview
- In the final sprint of stage 15 from Voghera to Milan, Enrico Zanoncello struck a rival with a headbutt and caused a crash in a congested finish.
- The Giro d'Italia jury immediately excluded Zanoncello from the race and imposed a 500 Swiss franc fine, a 13‑point classification penalty and a yellow card.
- VF Group Bardiani‑CSF Faizanè declined to appeal the ruling, leaving the sanctions in force and ending Zanoncello's participation in the race.
- Zanoncello, who posted on social media on Monday, issued an apology, denied any intent to harm and said he lost control after being shoved during the sprint.
- British rider Robert Donaldson of Team Jayco AlUla was involved in the crash and has been wished a speedy recovery as the episode focuses attention on safety in high‑speed bunch finishes.
