Their Core Commander, Almeida, seems to be having a bad day and has unexpectedly dropped to the rear of the pack.
As a result, Adam Yates and the others had to drop back to help him, and because of this reactive move, they all got caught up in the crash.

"That's right. No one ever wants to see a crash happen.
But in professional road cycling, the fight for position in the final kilometers, as they get closer to the finish, is where accidents are most likely to occur.

Luckily, before the climb began, their Core Commander and another key deputy commander, Martínez, had already pushed their way to the front of the peloton, both managing to escape the chaos!"
