The Prueba Villafranca had a dramatic finale, with leading duo Oier Lazkano and
Juan Ayuso crashing separately in the final kilometer. The latter may have his Vuelta a Espana in jeopardy following the crash, captured by fans on the side of the road.
The
UAE Team Emirates slipped out in the final corner of the Basque race, only seconds after Lazkano took a tumble too. He got back on the bike to finish third - although Marc Hirschi saved the day for the team by winning the race - but was complaining a lot of his left arm after the finish, jeopardizing his next few races and possibly the Vuelta a Espana.
