Simon Clarke took a tremendous win but the real story of the day was a succession of major incidents involving big-name riders.
Jack Haig was forced to withdraw, Primoz Roglic dislocated his shoulder and had to pop it back in - and that was after yellow jersey Wout van Aert had crashed and then almost hit a car when trying to rejoin the group.
