Eddie Dunbar is out of the Giro d'Italia due to injuries picked up in a crash in the second stage.
Dunbar was involved in the fall alongside teammate Filippo Zana and Dutch sprinter Olav Kooij.
"Unfortunately following a crash on stage two of Giro d'Italia, Eddie Dunbar will not start today's third stage," Team Jayco-AlUla wrote.
"The Irishman was able to finish the stage, but after further examinations by the team doctor, the decision has been made to withdraw the 27-year old from the race due to a sustained injury under his right kneecap and bodily abrasions."
Dunbar showed his bravery in riding out the final 63km to be 5:56 down on stage winner and race leader Tadej Pogačar.
However the decision has been made to opt out due to the injuries.
