On Stage 19 of the Tour, Taylor Phinney crashed off the road of the race, hitting face first into a tree. His nose is broken and swollen but he was able to finish the stage.
“So hello. I am ok 🙂 I fractured my nose and an occipital (orbital, ed.) bone under my right eye. I hit a bump, lost my grip w/about 30k to go today,” he wrote on Twitter. “Flew off the road and took a tree to the face. After assessing my head for concussion, we decided I was ok to finish. Le Tour…she bites.”
