It was a rare day of excitement on an otherwise sterile Tour, although that was mostly due to the weather provoking crashes. "Today showed exactly why I thought the Tour was not over," added Froome. "Ironically, I was trying to stay safe but I hit one of the white lines and lost my front wheel," said Froome. SAINT-GERVAIS LES BAINS (FRANCE) - Chris Froome said his crash on Friday's 19th stage of the Tour de France proved the race is never over until the finish line in Paris is crossed. I'm feeling really bad and it's difficult to explain what's happening in my body," said the 26-year-old, who was second to Froome in 2013 and 2015.
