A crash at the end of stage one of the Abu Dhabi Tour left Owain Doull (Team Sky) with a cut to his foot and his shoes cleanly sliced through, with Doull saying that these were caused by the disc brakes of Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) who was involved in the same incident.

Speaking after the stage, Doull said that he was sure that it was Kittel's disc brake rotors that had sliced through his shoe and cut his foot.
