Video: Hesjedal only Garmin-Sharp rider left in Tour de France hunt

Garmin-Sharp revived memories of one of its most painful Tour de France stages on stage 3 from Orchies to Boulogne-sur-Mer with a number of its riders crashing and losing time. In 2010 on the road to Spa, the team was decimated by series of crashes that saw almost their entire squad lose time and its GC leader leave the race in an ambulance.
