Krieger suffered multiple rib fractures and also a fractured pelvis according to the Swiss team who provided an update last evening. Following the stage, the race was criticized heavily by Geraint Thomas who also went down late in the day, but Juan Sebastián Molano also complained about the poor road surface in the final descent.
Thomas however went as far as saying that "
sometimes we are like clowns in a circus. You heard chains jumping off bikes all the time" but also that on the final descent "there were also a lot of holes in the road," one of which is assumed to have led to this crash.
