Evenepoel looked down at his bike. Not sure if he thought he had a mechanical, a gear change issue, or was he talking to himself? Hopefully we find out after the race.

After his crash, Jakob Söderqvist lost time and finishes third with 46:19.31, 13 seconds slower than Seixas, and one second off McNulty.
