Getting Patched Up TDF20-43
There are no time outs, or subsitutions, in cycling. So after a fall, riders must get up and finish the stage, or their Tour is over. Sadly a couple of guys have already crashed out of the Tour already. Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) had a fairly minor crash that left him a bit bloody. Along with EMT and ambulances back with the broom wagon, the Tour has a medics car at the front of the caravan ready to assists riders with their medical issures. Bardet was quickly cleaned and patched up to go on with his stage. Spoiler, Bardet not only caught back onto the peloton, but ended the day pulling back a couple of seconds on his main GC rivals.
