The police were called to the stretch between Godegård and Zinkgruvan on Saturday morning where someone had poured nails onto the road. The organiser sent a garbage truck to remove the small nails, and a report of vandalism has been filed.

Around 100 cyclists have had punctures, Oskar Sundblad, CEO of Vätternrundan, tells Motala Vadstena Tidning.

Work after the nail incident is still ongoing. The road has been swept once and we will sweep it once more, he says.

The 315-kilometer bike race around Lake Vättern takes place on Saturday.
