Rodriguez had an uncomfortable ride to the finish.
American Fred Rodriguez was one of the worst victims of Monday's mayhem in Ghent. The 33-year-old rider from Predictor-Lotto finished last in the stage gingerly holding his shoulder as he crossed the line alone. Team doctor Daniel De Neve told VeloNews that Rodriguez was transported to a local Ghent hospital where exams are still ongoing. "We don't know what happened yet. The exam is still ongoing," De Neve said. "We will know in a few hours whether he will be able to continue or not." Rodriguez sounded optimistic when VeloNews caught up him before the start of Monday's stage. "We'll be working for Robbie to win as many stages as possible," Rodriguez said. "When Robbie wins, we all win."
