The incident had the Eurosport commentary box wincing as Mollema was hurled into the air, with the Dutchman fortunately able to clamber back onto his bike and finish the stage. He is now 26th in the general classification, 4:58 behind Deceuninck-QuickStep's leader Joao Almeida. The Tour of Luxembourg concludes on Saturday with the 183.7km run from Mersch to Luxembourg City.

'Woah! Very nasty' – Mollema flips over handlebars in huge crash

Bauke Mollema (Trek–Segafredo) was propelled over his handlebars after colliding with a bag of wood marking the course at the Tour of Luxembourg.

Mollema carried too much speed into a corner on the Stage 4 individual time trial, causing him to hit the obstacle and slide into a metal fence before being ejected from his saddle.

“Woah! Very nasty,” called Carlton Kirby on Eurosport commentary.

Mollema got back on his bike to finish the stage, coming home 4:29 down on stage winner Mattia Cattaneo as his GC hopes evaporated.

Cattaneo led home a Deceuninck-QuickStep one-two in 30:52, two seconds ahead of Joao Almeida.

Almeida reclaimed the race lead from Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), who slipped to second some 43 seconds back.
