Irish cyclist Eddie Dunbar is out of the Giro d'Italia following a crash at stage 2 of the race on Sunday.
The Irishman was caught up in a crash on stage 2 of the Giro and will not be able to continue due to injury to his right kneecap.

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."
