While everything seemed to be going perfectly for the Dane, the loss of Roglic and Kruijswijk should handicap the Tour leader, especially as the rider is also slightly affected after his fall even though he did not mention anything. “Today was a bad day for us. Steven had to leave the race after a heavy crash, Tiesj and I also hit the ground afterwards. I’m fine, I hope I can say the same of Tiesj. He fell on me I couldn’t do anything more. Unfortunately, these are things that happen in cycling. I just have abrasions on the left side of my body“, Explain Jonas Vingegaard
