Often times in bike races things don't go to plan. That's a lesson Chad Haga (Team Sunweb) learned once again Thursday during the neutral start of stage 5 at the Criterium du Dauphine.
Haga, who finished fifth in Wednesday's time trial, tweeted about his adventure after the stage, leading off with a picture of the damage done to his bike when an errant steel bar smashed into his back wheel.

Haga continued to unwind his tale from there:
"With 2km remaining in the neutral start, at 40kph, a thin steel pipe in the road got kicked up, bounced around, and went into my spokes.
"It jammed against my seat stays (breaking both), and I managed to keep the bike straight. Somehow the peloton avoided me.
