Here I am breaking one of my own rules (they are meant to be broken), yet I am hoping no one else is breaking anything. I had a viseral reaction as I watched Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal) go down while in the perfect position to open his closing sprint in Pontivy. Sprints are high speed with riders so close togther. Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) had chosen Ewan's wheel as the one to follow in hopes of being able to jump out of the Aussie's slipstream for the win, alas that meant the Slovakian had no chance of not going down with him. As I write this I don't know how bad Caleb Ewan was hurt, but he did spend a long time laying on the ground.
I was quite impressed that both Nacer Bouhani (Arkea Samsic) and Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Victorious) were able to swerve around the crash with Bouhani finishing in third on the day. Tim Merlier & Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix) were able to keep going despite was happening behind them.
