Fabio Baldato (BMC and Richie Porte's team director): "He was conscious from the beginning. I was a little bit behind him. I was looking at him. He had pains in the shoulder. We need to wait for the doctor, but the important thing is that he was conscious, he was asking for his helmet and his glasses, it's all I have to say. We rode the Mont du Chat four times before the race. In training, in races. We knew it was a dangerous one. I cannot say anything else. We are all sad, we did a lot of work. Richie did a lot of work for this Tour de Fance, in training, recon, also with his team mates. They are here for him. We thought it was possible to put him on the podium. For sure we are sad. It's possible for him to come back stronger. He deserves a good result, a good Tour de France."
