The 12th stage of the Tour plunged this Thursday towards the finish in Belleville-en-Beaujolais after having overcome the last difficulty of a day led to a hell of a train when the Norwegian Torstein Traen (Uno-X) who was already fell during the 1st stage and suffered from an elbow was the victim of a spectacular fall.
On the left side of a descent at high speed, he could not avoid a slight gap. Out of its trajectory, it was rushed to the side. Under the effect of the shock, his bicycle crossed the road. A spectacular picture.
Stunned, Torstein Traen was able to pick up the thread of the race and finish (79th at 16’26” from the Spaniard Ion Izaguirre). He is 89th overall (2h18 behind Jonas Vingegaard).
