Unprotected post in Vuelta a Espana stage 5 finale raises hackles

In a near-repeat of the 2015 Vuelta al Pais Vasco, Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNl-Jumbo) crashed into a short unprotected traffic bollard in the road in the final kilometers of stage 5 of the Vuelta a España. Race organisers were quick to issue an apology and state that they intended for riders to be warned of the obstacle.
