It was a hectic day of racing for Charlotte Kool, who maintained her overall lead at the RideLondon Classique despite crashing in the final 1.2km of stage 2 on the run into Maldon.
The Dutch sprinter was involved in the incident that also saw Thalita de Jong (Liv Racing-TeqFind) and Eugénie Duval (FDJ-SUEZ) go down, but the riders affected had their finishing times neutralised, allowing Kool to hang onto the race lead going into the third and final stage on Sunday in London.
