Jack Haig was one of the first abandons at the Tour de France. The Autralian climber was eyeing a top spot in the overall classification, but could not go on with that ambition as a crash spilled disaster.
Haig said in a video message from
Bahrain - Victorious that "it feels a bit like déjà vu after last year". For the second year in a row the Australian finds himself abandoning the Tour de France in the opening week after a crash that has caused him serious harm. Alongside Primoz Roglic and Caleb Ewan he crashed in a roundabout en route to Arenberg, leading to his abandon whilst leading the team's GC ambitions.
