Rain transformed the road surface into a slippery mess and more than 20 riders crashed on the downhill.
(just back into racing after an injury) André Greipel (DEU/Lotto-Belisol) refuses to continue and is decided to leave the race if the stage isn't neutralised.
His bike is already being put onto the roofrack by the team mechanic while DS Jean-Pierre Heynderickx (BEL) is checking with commisaires over the phone on what to do next.
