Stage 2
Lennert van Eetvelt was a DNS at the start of the day, with his Lotto-Intermarche team reporting lingering effects from a Strade Bianche crash
On the stage itself, Martin Marcellusi was involved in a scary moment as he somersaulted off-road and down an embankment. Thankfully though, he managed to get back on his bike finish the stage.

Stage 3
Nothing to note.
Stage 4
Alpecin-Premier Tech's Michael Gogl crashed whilst attempting to put on a rain jacket. The incident was then immediately made much scarier as a TV motorbike following behind went straight over him. Thankfully, he was able to get back on his bike and finish the stage.

Fernando Gaviria did not finish the stage whilst Xandro Meurisse and Ilan van Wilder were both DNS on the day. Giovanni Aleotti crashed during the stage.

The DNS of Andreas Kron was followed by five further DNFs on the final day as Samuel Fernandez, Danny van Poppel, Gianni Moscon, Cedric Beullens and Mattia Stenico all stepped off.

Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - i did not see it. was the relegation justified or an overly hard decision? and don‘t cross riders deviate from straight lines all the time? bumping into each others when they cut corners, etc … why being more strict with the rules on the finish sprint?Ketterechts08-11-2026

Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
