With a strong showing in the windy first stage, Evaldas Siskevicius was in the perfect position to finish high in the overall standings in the Etoile de Bessges. However, the Lithuanian crashed out of the race in today's bunch sprint.
"Evaldas Siskevicius crashed in the final," his Marseille sports director Freddy Lecarpentier told Directvelo. "500 meters from the line, he flew into the barriers. The race doctor said he had a dislocation or a fracture of the clavicle. His race is over, he went to Marseille tonight. He was strong, he was in the break on the first day. It's a shame. He could finish in the top 5 overall after the time trial. Now, we will count on Ignatas Konovalovas, and we will try to keep Julien Loubet's mountains jersey."
