Three of Vingegaard’s teammates crash on stage 15 of the Tour de France

Three of defending champion Jonas Vingegaard’s teammates crashed after a spectator caused a massive rear-end collision on stage 15 of the Tour de France on Sunday.

Nathan van Hooydonck hit the bridge hard about 129 kilometers from the finish with Sepp Kuss, Vingegaard’s top lieutenant on the mountain, and Dylan van Baarle also crashing after one of the Jumbo-Visma riders was knocked off balance by a spectator.

All three remounted, although Van Hooydonck spent a few minutes lying on the ground before setting off again.

Vingegaard, of the Jumbo-Visma, precedes the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar by 10 seconds.

Seven drivers retired from the race on Saturday in two separate crashes.
