A parked police motorbike caused Kelderman (Sunweb) and a bunch of others to crash, leaving Thomas and others trailing over 5 minutes to Nairo Quintana in the pink jersey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got back on, I got to the finish, but I knew deep down there was no coming back from that. I was on the floor for quite a while and then waiting to get a bike and everything. It was just a shame because that shouldn\u2019t happen,\u201d Thomas said after the stage.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1oihWXh4IVM<\/p>\n<p>The Orica-Scott sports director Matt White believes Team Movistar should have stopped and waited for the rest of the peloton.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the decision Movistar made was incorrect. There was no break they were chasing, it was a downhill section. Everyone was aware of what happened in that crash. The best decision on a sporting front would\u2019ve been to slow down for one or two minutes, it would\u2019ve given time for guys to get off the deck. There was no need to push the pace as they did. It\u2019s disappointing, because I have a lot of respect for that team but I think they made a poor decision today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with him?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Javier Moreno in the lead<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It&#39;s not looking too good for Bahrain Merida in the fair play classification. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HJyMm55rFF\">pic.twitter.com\/HJyMm55rFF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Daniel Lloyd (@daniellloyd1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/daniellloyd1\/status\/862289025360678912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 10, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Red Hook Criterium crash<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Crashes are hardly a rare occurrence in this New York race as it is contested on fixies, but this one at the beginning of the women\u2019s finale is definitely worth your attention.
