Hurting TDF21-79
After yet another crash in the Tour de France that left guys tumbling down the embankment. While Simon Yates (BikeExchange) didn't go over the edge, he did spend sometime in pain laying on the side of the road. He did get up and back on the bike. A little further up the road, he stopped and stretched out his back clearly in pain. His soigneur came up with another bottle and some kind words before Yates got back up and started chasing the peloton. Not long after I painted this, it was announced that he was leaving the Tour. I hope he isn't too bad off and will recover quickly. It is said that he is planning on competing in the Olympics in just over two weeks, hopefully this doesn't derail the plan.
