After stage 3 of the Simac Ladies Tour was disrupted by a huge crash in the peloton in the run-in to what should have been a bunch finish, stage 4 saw nine riders not start and 19 more riders exit the race.

Before the stage began there were several notable absentees from the starline including Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) who suffered a small concussion as a result of yesterday’s crash, Sarah Roy of Team BikeExchange who suffered a broken scaphoid, and Christine Majerus and Elena Cecchini of SD Worx who both did not finish stage 3 after crashing.
