The final stage of the Tour of Luxembourg was marred by another incident as a truck on the course caused a slowdown and crash in the peloton.

With 67km to go on the stage, and with the peloton heading up the Bourscheid climb, there was a bunching up in the peloton as riders slowed to avoid a truck parked on the inside of a corner.
