Updates from stage nine in Centre-Val de LoireEmail Amy | Longo Borghini defends her Giro title166km: Jonas Rutsch (Intermarché-Wanty) is receiving medical attention from the Tour doctor. His shoulder took a hit yesterday after coming down on his way into the finish. This morning he told reporters:I was pulling most of the day and then I had finished my job and the only thing I could really do for the boys was to bring some bottles. I went back to the car, gave some vests, some bottles And then I was coming back to the peloton, I was à bloc. I looked down to put my bottle in the cage and when I looked up, a guy broke hard just in front of me. I touched his wheel and I couldn’t save it any more and I crashed.A crash at more than 50 km/h is never fun. My shoulder is pretty banged up, a lot of road rash and bruises But luckily nothing is broken. From now on I take it day by day. In two days we have a rest day so we’ll see. Continue reading...
