As 12 riders sprinted toward the finish line of the Faun Ardèche Classic in Guilherand-Granges, the leading trio, having just accelerated at the front, mistakenly took a wrong turn at the final roundabout and veered off course. In the ensuing chaos, at least two other riders crashed, while behind them, Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ) stayed on the correct path and powered through to claim victory.
In what seemed to be déjà vu, after the chaotic opening stage of the Volta ao Algarve two weeks ago, where a large segment of the peloton mistakenly headed up the wrong side of the finishing straight.
