A new fall involving the peloton. After an impressive pileup this Saturday, right from the start of the race, a new incident shook the peloton on Sunday. This time, because of the carelessness of a spectator.
Still grouped after 50 kilometers of racing, the peloton took advantage of the generosity of the road and tried to roll at full speed to catch up with the men in front. According to several concordant sources, a spectator took a selfie with his back to the runners. The Dutchman of the Jumbo-Visma team Nathan van Hooydonck could not avoid the individual. Destabilized, he fell to the ground, dragging other athletes behind him. About thirty cyclists fell in total. An incident that largely slowed down the peloton.
