The sixth stage of the Tour de Bretagne, which from Châteaubriant should have ended in Plancoët, ended without a winner. Thanks to humidity and mud, the road turned out to be a trap for a large group of cyclists who collided. The frightening fall, about 80 km from the finish line, was documented by the fans who rushed along the route. All rescue vehicles were involved in the accident so much so that the organization was forced to suspend the race: "We can no longer guarantee the safety of the riders".
