The Vuelta’s onboard cameras caught it all from within the bunch: Vingegaard sliding helplessly across the asphalt, Tom Pidcock swerving at the last instant to avoid a lamp post, and the peloton briefly undone by the elements.
Vingegaard was able to remount quickly and later played down the damage, but the close-up footage underlines the violent nature of the fall.
