Massive crash in the final straight of the fifth stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné that caused the neutralization of the stage and involved Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic and Juan Ayuso among many other riders.
The worst part, once again for Visma - Lease a Bike, which saw Steven Kruijswijk having to be taken away by ambulance after a very hard blow. Dylan Van Baarle also suffered a heavy blow and was forced to abandon the race.
The peloton was going through a very fast zone and the ground was completely wet. The leaders' teams (UAE, Visma, Soudal, BORA) were trying to gain position 28 km from the finish line when the massive crash occurred at the front of the peloton. More than 60 riders are estimated to have become involved in the incident.
The commissaires automatically decided to neutralize the race, stopping the front group and also the two escapees who remained in the lead with less than half a minute advantage (Mathis Le Berre and Tobias Bayer).
We could see Roglic talking to his teammates, Evenepoel moving the arm he had the problem with after his fall in the Itzulia and Juan Ayuso complaining. We haven't seen any worrying images among the large number of riders who have gone down.

- He’s also taking the place and money of many more deserving (and just as useful) riders (who’d significantly reduce costs). Only thing CF does for IPT is help them stay relevant for discussion because there’s no such thing as bad publicity if you don’t have a reputation to consider.Mistermaumau21-05-2025
- We’ll see. I’m still trying to figure out how GT cycling went from being a climbing defined event to a 3 week event around a couple of short TTs. All the contenders more or less cancel each other climbing and then grow huge (as the media defines the time spans now) gaps when riding on bikes not made for GTs, quite ironic really.Mistermaumau21-05-2025
- When you read this you get the impression they ride without radios or don’t have a common language for communication.Mistermaumau21-05-2025
- That was a very nice ride by Richard Carapaz. His team set him up perfectly for that attack.
santiagobenites21-05-2025 - Like a said just a few days ago in the comments, look out for Carapaz!awp21-05-2025
- CF rides well but is well and truly 'former of himself...

- Dudes just salty he can't get a multi mil contract to keep racing. Froomes value to the team isn't actually on the bike. Thats been said so many times if follow IPT (and not only when suits to hate on Israel) because he helps the young riders so much and if you actually watch him race, he gives it a lot for his team. He's become a good domestique.HoopoeChai21-05-2025

straight road, just happened to be wet, and high speed . lack of traction. perhaps 35c minimum tire width help with this situation. I ride all the time and 25/28c tires on slick roads are dangerous
I didn't even think to look at the results today due to it being a stage that shouldn't have changed GC. That's what I get... I'll watch it for sure tonight.
This season is a horror crash filled one
Any word on Ayuso?
Visma sure can’t seem to catch a break aye. Two of their tdf domestiques injured and in the hospital. Hopefully they give extra couple of new undetectable juices to Jonas to pull smth off.
There have certainly been the a lot of crazy crashes and mass carnage in the professional peloton so far this season, and it hasn't been a pretty sight. I hope that nobody was injured too seriously this time, and best wishes for a speedy recovery for all who went down and could not continue.
