The Tour of Thailand has witnessed a horror crash, with a huge number of riders falling while sprinting flat out.

And on the bend just 150 metres from the finish one ride came down. He slid across the road, effectively taking out a huge section of the peloton.
Such was the speed of the riders and the sheer number of fallers that those who crashed also took out the crowd control barriers.
However, the crash didn’t seem to bother Dutchman Raymond Kreder. The Team UKYO rider came through the chaos to win.
