“The teams always want to be at the front. It's difficult to be well positioned. I crashed 400 metres from the line. I don't quite understand how we found ourselves in such a mess. I don't understand,” he said.
The Astana team leader added he did not suffered any major bruise personally.
“Personally I'm OK. I only slightly hurt my leg et shoulder. It's always a problem to crash. I really don't know what happened. I know it went from left to right and I fell over Froome, who was on my right. I think Barguil is the one who felle over me. I don't know for sure.”
