Gaudu managed to fall and take Bardet down with him. 🇫🇷 🍷 🇫🇷 🍷 🇫🇷

Reminder.

This year, Gaudu fell successively:

• on the Tour of Oman (nothing serious) 11 or 12 Feb;
• while training 🐈 (which forced him to cancel the small French mountain races he should have ridden (Var, Alpes-Maritimes 21-23 Feb) and then forbid him to replace them with the following similar small French races (Drôme, Ardèche 1-2 Mar));
• twice on Strade Bianche (abandon) 8 Mar;
• 3 days later, on the 1^st stage of Tirreno–Adriatico (abandon and hand surgery); 11 Mar : all those falls happened within 1 month!
• he finally restarted 7 or 8 weeks later on the Tour of Romandie mostly as a tourist, only race without a fall;
• now he’s fallen again on his next race, the Tour of Italy (hand injury for the umpteenth time, stitches (?), consequences unknown so far) 16 May.

I don’t know what happened to Roglitch in the last mile: he seemed stuck when the final attack/acceleration occurred, but still finished very well (4th) and looked jolly after dismounting from his bike.

By the way, I am not sure, but just after the finish, while Ayuso was sitting for a few seconds, I think I heard him asking “¿Soy en rosa?” and the staff answer him “Si, si.”, which was obviously wrong already at that moment.
