Chaos at Criterium du Dauphine: Stage Halted After Massive Crash.

Stage five of the Criterium du Dauphine was stopped on Thursday due to a major crash involving the peloton.

Race leader Remco Evenepoel was one of several riders injured in the crash.

The stage was called off with about 21.5 km to go because medical staff were stretched too thin.

"All available ambulances are currently occupied, so we have no choice but to neutralize the race," announced the organizers.

Tour de France hopeful Primoz Roglic also went down but got up quickly and seemed fine.

Riders proceeded to the finish line together, with no stage winner or official times recorded for the day.
