The Tour de France was hit by a spate of punctures on Stage 2 after thumbtacks were thrown in the road. Jumbo-Visma coach Grischa Niermann confirmed to Eurosport that tacks were found on the race route near the start of the Alto de Jaizkibel climb, about 36km from the finish in San Sebastian. Ad Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) was among the riders affected, with the Dane forced to hop on a replacement bike at the foot of the final climb, while Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) finished fourth despite riding to the line with a slow puncture.
