The Spaniard Mikel Landa (Bahrain-McLaren) took the start of the second stage of the Tour de France this Sunday with some discomfort, after having been involved in the last of the multiple crashes of the day before.
The head of the Bahrain-McLaren ranks claimed that he suffered blows to the ribs that broke at the end of last January, when he was hit by a car while training on the Alava roads.
Landa assured that he went for tests to check the extent of the injuries. “Today is going to have to suffer,” said the Basque.
The Spaniard pointed out that in today’s stage, the first appointment with the mountain with two first-class ports and the start and the end in Nice, “we will have to be vigilant” so as not to waste time facing the general, his great objective of this edition. .
Despite the fall, Landa said she was on a good pace after preparation in the last Dauphin.
In the first stage, very bumpy due to the rain, Landa lost one of his lieutenants, his compatriot Rafael Valls, who was also involved in the same fall and suffered a fractured femur.
