Poland is still trying to digest the horrific accident that occurred last night (Wednesday) as part of the local column. According to reports, right on the finish line of the first section, Dutchman Dylan Gronwagen, who rode wildly, collided with his compatriot Fabio Jacobsen, after the two struggled with urgency and elbows over the position towards the finish.
As a result of the fight over the bike, Jacobsen from the Deconic Quick Step group crashed on the billboards, flew off the track, and hit a local crew member, who was also badly injured.
