Ferrari should be ashamed of Giro sprint, says Cavendish

Crash during sprint, Giro d'Italia 2012, stage three

The Giro d'Italia was turned upside down today in Horsens, Denmark, due to Robert Ferrari's sprint. The Italian of team Androni darted right, hit Mark Cavendish's front wheel and caused a crash that also took out race leader, Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing).

"Ouch! Crashing at 75kph isn't nice!" Cavendish said on Twitter. "Nor is seeing Roberto Ferrari's manoeuvre. Should be ashamed to take out Pink, Red & World Champ jerseys."
