There are only five Americans still going in the Giro d’Italia after Larry Warbasse dropped out. Velonews.com is reporting he dropped out after having numbness in his leg over the last few days.
The five that were left in the race did not have strong finishes on Friday with none making it into the top 100 of stage seven. Three Americans are still in the top 100 overall with Ian Boswell leading the way in 52nd, 13:47 back. Nathan Brown is 57th and Joe Dombrowski 63rd, both over 90 seconds behind Boswell.
On Saturday there is a 116 mile medium-mountain stage. It’s the last long stage before the second rest day of the event.
