‘It was the same colour as the road’ – Harper, O’Connor crash into kerb at Tour of the Alps

Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) and Chris Harper (Jayco AlUla) both crashed at the same spot during the descent from the Passo del Vetriolo on stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps, with O’Connor blaming an unmarked kerb for the wrecks.

O’Connor told his soigneurs and race leader Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) that he couldn’t see the change between the road and kerb as “they were the same colour” on a high-speed bend.
