Dozens of riders were wiped out of the fifth stage of the Tour de France Femmes and several were injured in a 30-woman pile-up on Thursday. The mass crash took out more than half of the main peloton.
Dozens of racers hurtled into the mass and became tangled up with other bikes The accident wiped out several precious minutes off the racers’ times
Ms Van den Broek-Blaak told Cycling Weekly: ‘It was a long, straight road and with stages like this when it’s 175km and flat you know you cannot concentrate for four-and-a-half hours, so it can happen.’ Initially it appeared to be in the hands of four riders who tore ahead of the main pack just 20 miles in – Victoire Berteau, Antri Christoforou, Emily Newsom and Anya Louw.
