Ineos Grenadiers and Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale were among the teams worst affected after a double crash in the final five kilometres on stage 5 of the UAE Tour saw both of their GC leaders go down and lose time.
Both Carlos Rodríguez for the British team and Felix Gall for Decathlon AG2R hit the deck at high speed with 3.5km to go on the approach to Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University, with several of their teammates also crashing.
