Amid all the chaos of an explosive fifth stage, Noemi Rüegg was knocked off her bike by a Shimano motorbike during the Tour de France Femmes, with groups, riders and vehicles scattered across the 160km course.
Rüegg was part of an early 19-rider breakaway on the road from Mâcon to Belleville-en-Beaujolais, but was dropped by the strongest climbers, caught, and then passed by the Demi Vollering-driven group of GC favourites towards the top of the Col de Durbize.
