Sunday’s race was tight and quite lively, with Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious) able to claim first place.
Despite this, there was no shortage of strange events.
With 125 kilometers to go, a spectator tried to take a selfie and Jumbo-Visma rider Sepp Kuss crashed his motorcycle into a fan holding a phone in the path of the cyclists.
Kuss crashed into his colleague Nathan van Hooydonk, who fell, causing those behind to also fall.
