While most of the cycling world's attention was fixed to the Giro d'Italia where a massive crash on the rain-slick roads en route to Napoli took down a large number of riders, a huge portion of the entire peloton at the Tour de Hongrie suffered a similar fate.
While the organisers of the Giro d'Italia neutralised the stage for the overall classification and left the sprinters to fight it out only for stage honours, the Tour de Hongrie continued on with Danny van Poppel winning the stage despite losing three of his Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe riders in the wreck.
