There were chaotic scenes during stage five of the Giro d’Italia as a stray dog ran into the road and caused a huge crash that brought down leading rider Remco Evenepoel.
The world champion Evenepoel was among the favourites to win the stage but fell off his bike on the right side of the road after the loose animal ran towards the peloton from the left, forcing Evenepoel’s teammate Davide Ballerini to swerve out of its way on the wet road.
