A bump in the road placed by the Tour Colombia organisers caused two crashes at the finish line of the first day of the race.
The incident occurred just metres after the line, following a 14-kilometre (8.6-mile) team time-trial through the city of Medellin. Chris Froome is one of the competitors but did not fall victim to the obstacle.
