A parked moto caused havoc in the peloton as Geraint Thomas, Mikel Landa and Adam Yates crashed into it. Thomas suffered injuries and dropped five minutes on the day's eventual winner, Nairo Quintana.
Geraint Thomas says his crash due to a parked motorbike in the Giro d'Italia's ninth stage to Blockhaus "shouldn't have happened."
A parked police motorbike on the left side of the road caused Wilco Kelderman (Sunweb) to crash and a wave of carnage afterwards. Team Sky's Thomas crashed with co-captain Mikel Landa and at least two other team-mates.
