British rider Steve Cummings crashed out of the Giro della Toscana race on the opening stage today.
Cummings had been part of the Dimension Data team but crashed and had to abandon the race. Cumming's team said that the Tour Of Britain winner was going to be examined but did not look too bad.
Giovanni Visconti of Movistar, who had escaped from the break, took the stage win ahead of Sonny Colbrelli, Daniele Bennati and Fabio Aru on the 174.7km stage from Arezzo to Montecatini Terme
