The Eritrean was injured, as evidenced by the gestures of pain and the towing of his Intermarché teammates upon arrival. The Future of the Green Jersey is in danger five days before closing.

There is knowledge, backed by centuries of sporting experience, that warns of the threat rest days. The next day after the break Tio del Maso, as Perico Delgado would say: Usually he has extra work. If you are not rested enough, crises can occur in the legs. There are historical hooligans who could serve as examples. Thus, the Tour quickly came to life. one of Jacques Anquetil’s greatest birds after a good party in Andorra. The parties don’t have to take the hit. The teams, which are becoming more professional, know these risks. It seems the organizers do too. And they avoid it.
