“All my right side is injured, from the knee to the shoulder. We know how cycling is: months of preparation and the first day you're on the ground. Fortunately nothing is broken and I'll try to pass the next few days the best I to recover before the mountains. X-ray examination isn't needed. My shoulder hurts depending on my position but the Tour de France doesn't end here. I want to be optimistic, thinking of taking a maximum profit of the hours ahead of tomorrow's uphill finish to recover. There was a lot of tension because we were fighting for positions at the front to avoid the wind. We were paying attention but I saw a central reservation too late and the front wheel went to the side. It's bad luck, I'm screwed.”
