Although it doesn’t appear to have been caught on camera, Peter Sagan suffered a heavy fall during one of yesterday’s descents and rolled over the finish line looking very sorry for himself, with his shirt and shorts shredded, bleeding from several cuts. He is, however fit to start today although he did report this morning that he is very sore. Sagan is guaranteed to win a record-equalling sixth green jersey in this year’s Tour if he finishes the race in Paris on Sunday. Quite why he was risking life and limb on an apparently crazy descent that was completely unnecessary is anyone’s guess.
Thanks everybody for your support and messages! That was a hard crash but, fortunately, I haven’t broken anything and I feel confident about the last four stages of @LeTour (@bettiniphoto) pic.twitter.com/9VuYYmFl0W
