Having left the town of Redon in the western Brittany area to begin Stage 4, the peloton rode at a moderate speed and all riders got off their bicycles after around one kilometer. They stood by quietly for about a moment prior to taking off once more. 

After the accident filled Stage 3, a few riders have condemned race coordinators for setting up what they considered a perilous finale to a Tour stage, particularly in the beginning of the race when apprehension is at its most elevated level. 

Previous title holder Philippe Gilbert said in a video that riders' agents requested the Stage 3 timings to end with five kilometers left. The objective by most of riders was to stay away from a dangerous last run in thin and winding streets prompting the end goal. 

"We had investigated the course and saw that the finale was incredibly hazardous," said Gilbert, a Belgian exemplary trained professional. 

Gilbert said that race coordinator ASO upheld the proposition. "In any case, the UCI (cycling's overseeing body) commissaires didn't acknowledge the solicitation, it was dismissed toward the beginning of the day toward the beginning of the race," he said. 

Gilbert said an accident on a declining bend around three kilometers from the completion was an immediate outcome. 

"There was a serious mix-up from individuals who supported this course," he said.

Riders' association CPA said in an articulation it has requested that the UCI set up conversations to adjust the purported "3-kilometer rule" during stage races. Under that guideline, riders who crash in the last three kilometers are granted the hour of the gathering they were riding with before they fell. 

"This could keep away from conditions, for example, those which happened in the previous stage," the association said. "Riders and CPA are resolved to seek after changes for the wellbeing and actual respectability of competitors. These progressions are more essential than any time in recent memory." 

Thierry Gouvenou, who is accountable for the Tour course, disclosed to L'Equipe paper about the expanding difficulties he faces to discover finish locales without hazardous street materials. 

"There could be not, at this point any medium-sized towns without a little island, traffic circle or narrowing," he said. "Ten years prior, there were 1,100 perilous focuses on the Tour de France. This year, there are 2,300. In the event that the degree of interest turns out to be excessively extraordinary, there will be no more wraps up. That is the place where we are." 

Gilbert didn't put all the fault on the course on the UCI, however, saying the groups that explored it before the race ought to have told coordinators about its threats. 

One of Gilbert's partners at the Lotto-Soudal group, expert runner Caleb Ewan, fell close to the end goal as he challenged the run and had to desert with a wrecked collarbone. 

Two strong competitors for the yellow pullover — last year's second place, Primoz Roglic, and 2018 hero Geraint Thomas — were engaged with crashes on Monday, losing ground to their principle rivals. Yet, they fell on straight streets with no significant trouble and didn't fault coordinators. 

Saturday's initial stage was damaged by two major accidents, one brought about by an onlooker holding a cardboard sign in the method of the peloton. 

Calling for changes in the game without offering arrangements, veteran Groupama-FDJ sports chief Marc Madiot approached all partners to take their duties "since, in such a case that we don't do it, we will have passings and I would prefer not to telephone the group of the rider who will be in clinic for eternity. That is not deserving of our game." 

The keep going rider to pass on the Tour was Fabio Casartelli, an Italian in the then-Motorola group of Lance Armstrong who smashed on the plunge of the Portet d'Aspet pass in 1995. Numerous genuine accidents have kept on defacing the race since.
