These are tough, tough boys here.
Geoffroy Lequatre, who lost the battle with a collision with a musette (food bag) bravley finished the stage 21 minutes after the penultimate finisher:
The crowd had dwindled away and not many people were there to witness the single bravest moment of stage five, 44 minutes after stage winner Filippo Pozzato nosed across the line and 21 minutes after the penultimate finisher.
His face contorted with agony, shorts ripped to shreds, thigh looking like a side of meat, and fingertips all stripped of skin, Lequatre crossed the line and simply collapsed in tears. These are tough, tough boys here.
Indeed.
