Having crashed two days in a row, Andrew Talansky suffered in today's stage 10 of the Tour de France and lost more than 10 minutes to race leader Vincenzo Nibali. Garmin-Sharp will now reevaluate their goals on the rest day as their American captain is now out of the GC battle.

 

With Andrew Talansky having taken an impressive overall victory in the Criterium du Dauphiné, Garmin-Sharp decided to build their Tour de France team entirely around their American captain. Going into Friday's stage, things were looking good but from there it started to unravel.

 

Having crashed in both Friday's and Saturday's stages, Talansky admitted that he had felt horrible in yesterday's stage and today he fell out of the GC battle when he lost more than 10 minutes to Vincenzo Nibali. Having dropped to 26th overall, Talansky and his team will now use the rest day to reassess the situation.

 

“He’s still suffering the consequences of the two crashes that he had two days in a row,” Garmin director Charly Wegelius told VeloNews. “As is often the case, the pains, they come out over time, over the first 48, 76 hours of a crash like that. [Sunday] we were very lucky with the way that the race played out. We laid low.

 

“The difference between those who are in the front and those who can’t keep up is already very small amongst healthy riders. As soon as you have an impact like this two days in a row like this, it really plays havoc with your body.

 

“He’s clearly disappointed because he had great form coming into the race and I think he still has extremely good condition, underlying the problems of the crash. We’re going to see what we can on the rest day and then reevaluate the goals for him and the team together.”
