Pogačar crashes late on stage 11 but loses no time
Presumptive Tour de France favorite Tadej Pogačar had a brief moment of panic on stage 11 when he crashed heavily just outside the 3 km to go marker. Frenetic late-race attacks saw the UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader in a select group with yellow jersey Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) as well as other GC riders when an Uno-X Mobility rider unwittingly crossed in front of him and overlapped wheels.
The world champion fell heavily on his left side but was back on his bike quickly. Ahead, Healy's EF team, along with the Visma-Lease a Bike squad of Jonas Vingegaard, made the quick call to pause the chase and wait. Pogačar, aided by teammates Adam Yates and Jhonatan Narváez, quickly rejoined. Pogačar looked to have no serious injuries but will likely be examined post-stage.
