The first stage of the 13th Giro della Toscana was cancelled following a serious accident involving German Christoph Meschenmoser, who crashed into a car stopped on the left hand side of the road while riding with a group of 10 riders off the back of the bunch. The 20 year old from the Hofbrau Radler club in Stuttgart was taken to a hospital in Pistoia and placed in intensive care. He suffered a broken spine and a fractured skull, and is in a pharmacologically induced coma, but is in a stable condition.
