After suffering a bad crash during stage ten of the Tour de France, Warren Barguil of Giant-Alpecin has lost time but still sits 11th overall in his debut Tour at just 23. Despite this, the Frenchman says he isn’t targeting the GC.
“The GC is not a goal for me,” he said to VeloNews. “Primarily I am here to learn and gain experience, as it is all new for me. After Paris we will make an assessment, and everything we achieve until then is extra, without pressure. When a GC position is not within reach anymore, I will go for a stage win together with my teammates, which is the main goal for the team.”
He says that three stages after his crash, he still feels great pain.
“I have pain everywhere. I crashed really hard here; it was really painful,” he said.
