Peter Sagan (Bora Hansgrohe) was one of several riders that got caught out in a small pile up in the front end of the peloton. One of the many risks on the roads of Belgium are the deep joints of cement that run down the center of many of the smaller roads. So even when the riders are off of the pave, they still are not out of danger. Sagan was helped back underway by his teammate, Christoph Pfingsten, as well as an enthusiastic cycling fan on the side of the road. But he got back underway long after the peloton had sped up the road. It was amusing to notice that the fan helping Sagan get back underway was wearing a Discovery Team kit - the last kit worn by Lance Armstrong. Good to know there are still some fans of the Texan out watching cycling in Europe.
