Officials initially slowed the race before imposing a full neutralisation while medical staff attended to the fallen riders and the road was cleared.
Stage 4 resumed around 30 minutes later on a shortened route, with 14 kilometres removed from the original parcours. The ascent of Borowice, which had been scheduled as the final classified climb of the day, remained part of the revised stage.
