Stage 1 of the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas ended in a bunch sprint but quite an unusual one. Lorena Wiebes was beaten, and as Lotta Hentala took the stage win, Elisa Balsamo crashed at high-speed against the barriers.
It was a chaotic finale where helicopter footage explained the incident. Balsamo launched her sprint at high speed between another rider and the barriers and there simply wasn't enough space. This led to a fall involving several riders, reminiscent unfortunately of Fabio Jakobsen's crash at the Tour de Pologne a few years back.
