A massive crash at the finish of the first stage of the Tour of Poland resulted in Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen‘s disqualification from the race.
Leading a bunch sprint, Groenewegen veered toward the right barrier, pinching countryman Fabio Jakobsen, who barreled into the barrier meters from the finish line, according to reports.
Jakobsen went head over heels, his bike went airborne and the barriers exploded onto the road, causing more cyclists to crash. Jakobsen was being tended to by doctors, according to his team’s last update.
Groenewegen crossed the finish line first but was disqualified, giving Jakobsen the stage win, according to the stage race website.
