sport">“Together with Froome and Juul Jensen, I stopped to help the man,” Gilbert told RTBF. The riders were on their way to their hotel when they saw something go wrong.
sport">“After the ride, we were descending to the foot again when we saw a cycling tourist miss a bend and fall about twenty meters deep. We lost almost twenty minutes helping that man. We had to call the emergency services, because he was seriously beat up,” said Gilbert, who finished the stage 120th, more than half an hour from stage winner and jersey wearer Tadej Pogacar.
sport">“These are things that almost never appear in the press, but that is also part of the Tour,” concluded the 39-year-old Waal, who participated eleven times in La Grande Boucle and won one stage.
