Nasty crash for Nils Eekhoff in the finale of the third stage of the AlUla Tour. The Dutch rider from Team Picnic PostNL was working in Fabio Jakobsen's lead-out train when a rider fell in front of him: while trying to avoid the crash, Eekhoff swerved but found no escape route and violently hit a roadside lamppost, in what was a truly complicated and dangerous finale.

The Team Picnic PostNL doctor Camiel Aldershof then explained the consequences suffered by Eekhoff: "Nils sustained a strong impact in the accident and broke a tooth and has a fracture in his jaw. He was discharged from the local hospital, but when he returns to the Netherlands, we will conduct further evaluations with our specialists to assess whether surgery is necessary. Due to the nature of the injuries, we estimate he will need to stay away from the bike for six to eight weeks, but of course, all of this can change depending on these additional assessments".
