Sergio Higuita drove off his bike crying from Tour de France | Cycling

sport">The 23-year-old Higuita, winner of a stage in the Vuelta last year, first fell due to an awkward maneuver for him by the Luxembourger Bob Jungels. The Colombian stepped up again to chase the peloton, which was at a killer pace in the early stages of the fifteenth stage. He crashed again at a roundabout. Higuita tried again but, perhaps hindered by his injuries, was increasingly losing ground. He got off crying.

sport">His team principal Jonathan Vaughters reassured the fans of the Colombian champion. “Sergio is doing well, although he may have broken his hand or some fingers. X-rays should prove that. In any case, he has no damage to his head. ”

sport">According to Vaughters, the second crash was due to the fact that Higuita could no longer operate his brakes properly. “It is sad to see him disappear from the Tour like that, but the most important thing is that he is otherwise okay.”
