Watch: Max Schachmann hit by car that got on to Il Lombardia course

Max Schachmann was hit by a car that got onto the course as he closed in on the finish of Il Lombardia.

Astana's Jakob Fuglsang had already crossed the finish line to take the Monument win when Schachmann was closing in on a top 10 finish.

As he descended around a bend a member of the public drove onto the course, crossing it to try and get to a side road and right into Schachmann's path, who fell over his handlebars and hit the deck.

The driver then got out, apologising as Schachmann picked himself up and continued on his way to a seventh-placed finish.

As a TV moto tracked his progress over the final kilometres, the Bora-Hansgrohe rider aired his frustrations while also holding his injured shoulder.
