The Danish Astana rider, currently in fifth place on GC and Fabio Aru’s chief lieutenant, crashed at the feeding station in an accident that ended his team-mate Dario Cataldo’s Tour yesterday. Fugslang was left with minor fractures to his left wrist and elbow, but has started this morning anyway. It’ll be interesting to see if he finishes.
