VIDEO: Early drama on stage 17 of the Tour de France as Tadej Pogacar hits the deck

Tadej Pogacar needs a big performance on the Queen Stage of the 2023 Tour de France on stage 17. Sadly for him and his legion of fans, the Slovenian has already been involved in a crash.

At a seemingly innocuous moment, Pogacar looked like the only rider to be brought down. Thankfully for Pogacar and for the Tour de France as a whole, the UAE Team Emirates leader was quickly able to remount his bike and is back on Jonas Vingegaard's back wheel, albeit with a bit of a bloodier knee than he would have hoped for.
