Cette 11e étape du Tour d'Italie 2023 était relativement anodine jusque là. Mais comme chaque jour depuis le départ de Fossaciesa, la météo et les chutes sont venus jouer les trouble-fête sur la route menant à Tortone. A environ 70 kilomètres de l'arrivée, un coureur d'UAE Team Emirates et Geraint Thomas sont tombés dans un virage rendu glissant par l'humidité. Le maillot rose a emporté avec lui une bonne partie de son équipe, ainsi que son dauphin au classement général Primoz Roglic (Jumbo Visma). Si Thomas et Roglic ont pu repartir assez vite, ce n'est pas le cas de ses équipiers de la formation INEOS Grenadiers. Tao Geoghegan Hart, trosième du classement général, a été contraint d'abandonner, et Pavel Sivakov a perdu de nombreuses minutes dans l'aventure. Le gallois de 36 ans s'est exprimé lors de l'interview flash d'après course : "Pavel a perdu beaucoup de temps, mais j'espère que ses blessures ne sont pas trop graves. En revanche, la perte de Tao Geoghegan Hart est un vrai coup dur pour l'équipe. Il était en très grande forme, toujours bien placé au général et il récupérait vraiment bien. C'est une énorme perte pour nous".

00:00 Garent, another eventful day. How did the crash happen?
00:03 Well, so it was the usual bit of jostling for position and then
00:09 Yeah, we're all just going down and I don't really know. It was a left-hander, a UAE guy
00:14 Just crashed next to me and fortunately for me, I just landed on him
00:19 But yeah, I think the other guys behind
00:22 I don't know if they were directly taken out or taken out because they braked, I'd say on the same spot
00:27 But yeah, obviously Tao is badly injured
00:30 Pavel is okay, I think but obviously a bit banged up, obviously Roglic down as well. So yeah, really
00:37 Not a good moment
00:40 How will you change your race that Tao is not in the race anymore?
00:44 It's obviously a big loss. He's going really well
00:48 You know, I was here doing the interviews and
00:55 You know delayed the recovery and he was on the bus five seconds down sitting sweet and you know, he was our little secret
01:00 Well, it wasn't too much of a secret weapon
01:01 Everyone knows how well he was going but you know, he was in a great position and it's really disappointing to lose him like this
01:06 but
01:08 Yeah, just hopefully I haven't heard anything yet, but hopefully he's okay
01:11 Garen, a lot of things happened, but you're still in the lead
01:24 Yeah, I think I was quite lucky really how the crash happened. I ended up falling on the UAE guy
01:31 So that's often my fault
01:33 and then at the end
01:34 for yeah, Gaviria was on the right and
01:37 It's a bit of a narrowing
01:40 not too sure what happened, but
01:42 Yeah, ends up having my foot kind of on Gaviria really keeping me upright, but fortunately
01:49 Came away from it unscathed
01:52 Tomorrow not a mountain stage, but some hills. Do you think it will be a stage for GC?
01:57 It could well be you never know in this race, you know
02:01 Yeah, who knows what's gonna happen? But um, you'd say on paper a breakaway stage, but yeah, we'll see
02:09 Thank you. Thanks
02:11 You
02:13 (whooshing)
