American Brent Bookwalter is out of the Tour of Britain after a parked vehicle on the course sparked a crash in the peloton.
Arial footage showed that several riders hit a parked car after taking a left turn at high speed. The car was parked close to the corner, in the area riders cross to the right of the road as they exit the corner. They had little time to see and avoid the vehicle.
Riders from the Katusha, BMC and Orica-Scott teams were involved with other riders blocked or slowed by the incident.
