On Twitter, Cras himself reveals the true circumstances of the fall. "If you step forward a meter as a spectator and do not want to move when the peloton comes, then you better stay at home."
"You have no respect for the riders," Cras addresses the spectator directly. "I hope you feel very guilty! Because of you I have to leave the Tour!"
The TotalEnergies rider was immediately taken to hospital, his team gave a medical update two hours after the finish: "Steff has several bruises on his elbow and hip, but fortunately no fractures."
