In that same stage, he was then involved in a dramatic crash after fellow breakaway rider, Team Sky's Juan Antonio Flecha, was sideswiped by a France Télévisions car, causing Hoogerland to crash into a barbed wire fence. Despite deep cuts to his legs, requiring 33 stitches, Hoogerland finished the stage, losing 17 minutes as a result of the crash.
