'Two cars in front just stopped immediately' – Tudor explain bizarre incident after rider smashes into rear window of UAE car at Giro d'Italia but escapes unscathed

A general view of the peloton competing while it is raining heavily during the 109th Giro d'Italia 2026, Stage 5.

Tudor Pro Cycling have explained the bizarre crash which left UAE Team Emirates-XRG with a smashed rear window on stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia, with young Frenchman Mathys Rondel colliding with the vehicle but coming away from the incident unscathed.

The broken window was revealed mid-way through the chaotic day from Praia a Mare to Potenza, where almost every bit of chaos that could have happened did on the 203 kilometre day filled with rain, crashes and drama, and that Rondel was the victim, but he raced on and finished with the group of GC favourites.
