Trucking hell

A lorry on the course at the Tour of Luxembourg caused a major crash, where a number of riders went down. The vehicle was parked on the corner of a climb on stage 5, and was one of a series of incidents to raise safety concerns at the race which also led to a rider protest on stage 2. The UCI said the incidents would be reviewed at their Management Committee.
