Martin set for surgery after Belfast crash
Dan Martin was due to have surgery on his broken collarbone on Saturday evening after an opening-stage crash ended his Giro d'Italia hopes.
The Irishman was hoping to be riding into Dublin where Sunday's stage three is scheduled to finish, but will be in the capital 24 hours ahead of that schedule to have the operation.
