With the technical nature of the road race course, it was unwise to hang out at the back of the peloton. Due to the constant cornering or the three short step climbs, radical changes of speed were bound to lead to a touch of wheels and a tumble on the tarmac. It was Miles Scotson (Australia) who caused the small pile up at the back of the pack. Most riders like Fabian Lienhard (Swiss) remained upright it was one of the Romanians who joined the Aussie sitting on the road way. Fortunately, everybody was able to get back underway. With the wreck coming so early in the race, all were able to rejoin the peloton but at what cost?
