BinckBank Tour #6: Vermote crashes out
Julien Vermote’s BinckBank Tour came to an unfortunate end after he sustained a wrist injury in a crash that’s ruled him out of starting Sunday’s final stage of the BinckBank Tour. The Belgian crashed with around 60km to go, along with teammate Nic Dougall, and fell heavily injuring his wrist. Subsequent medical examination post-stage has seen him forced to abandon the race. An exciting stage of racing was won by Gregor Muhlberger (Bora-hansgrohe) who saw off Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal), Zdenek Stybar (Quick-Step Floors) and Dylan van Baarle (Team Sky). Tom-Jelte Slagter featured strongly in the main chasing group who eventually finished 11 seconds behind.
