a bruised Fabian Cancellara (SUI/TREK Factory Racing) way behind the peloton on the Paddenstraat cobbles, after having crashed on the Haaghoek just earlier in the race. He would abandon the race a few km's further down the course and scans showed later that day 2 transverse process fractures in 2 vertebrae bones of the lower back. Painful exit of the Classics Season for Spartacus.
