The
Tour de France is the most important cycling event in the world for many and is the race for which many are willing to take the most risks and endure the most pain. That is the case with
Neilson Powless who has suffered a wrist fracture on one of yesterday's mass crashes but will continue the race despite it.
It was a day unfortunately marked by crashes stage 12, and in the final one there was quite a lot of damage to the peloton. Riders like Jarrad Drizners, Soren Kragh Andersen and Raul García Pierna required lengthy support after
coming down with 10 kilometers to go on the day, after Astana rider Alexey Lutsenko fell in road furniture that was not visible for riders in the peloton. Primoz Roglic was the most notable rider caught up, suffering a shoulder injury and losing over two and a half minutes at the finish line, a chaotic situation for the Slovenian.
