If this fourth stage of the Tour des Alpes saw Simon Carr win alone, the latter was marked by a big scare which bordered on disaster. Launched in pursuit of the day’s winner 30 km from the finish, 29-year-old Australian runner Chris Harper slipped on a manhole cover before hitting his head against a lamp post.

More fear than harm, his helmet avoided a tragedy. His team Jayco alUla did not comment on the state of health of its rider. We just know that he quickly got up and then gave up.
