Flecha: The driver didn’t even stop

Juan Antonio Flecha has spoken for the first time about his crash on stage nine that occurred when the driver of a France Télévisions VIP car swerved into the five-man breakaway 36km from the finish in Saint-Flour. Talking to El País, the Team Sky rider revealed that he and his breakaway companions had no warning at all from the car as it attempted to speed past them and that the incident was made worse because the driver of the car didn’t stop.
