Alberto Contador's spokesman confirms that further tests will be carried out on the shoulder and knee injuries suffered on Thursday, but he should be "okay" to continue.

Giro d'Italia leader Alberto Contador "should be okay" to take part in stage seven of the competition after a heavy fall, according to his personal press officer.

The 32-year-old was caught up in a crash towards the end of today's race in Castiglione della Pescaia, where he suffered knee and shoulder injuries.

Contador was soon back on his bike and managed to finish, but he struggled to pull on the pink jersey on the podium as a result of the damage sustained to his upper body.

Jacinto Vidarte, a spokesman for the Spaniard, revealed that further tests will be carried out before a decision is made prior to the next stage.

"Alberto is almost good, he had a very heavy fall towards the end. He's hurt himself on the knee and he's got a bad shoulder as you can see but I think he should be okay," Vidarte is quoted as saying by Cycling News.

"Alright he's hurt his knee but I think that he should be okay to continue. Of course he's only just fallen, we've got to do all the medical exams in the next few hope that he's okay."

Daniele Colli was also caught up in the collision, suffering what appeared to be a twisted arm following a heavy impact.
