Having crashed two days in a row, Andrew Talansky faced a tough day in the saddle in the stage 9 of the Tour de France. The American got through the day without losing any time but admitted that it had been a very diifcult one for him.
Andrew Talansky definitely hasn't had much luck these last few days but after two days with bad crashes, he finally avoided hitting the deck in toay's stage 9 of the Tour de France. However, the American admitted that he is suffering and that things need to improve before tomorrow's first big mountaintop finish.
“It was definitely not fun,” Talansky told the press. “Crashing pretty hard at high speed two days in a row, the team got me through today but it was a really difficult day for me. Of all the days, I could just feel the effects of hitting the ground twice and it was really a struggle to get through and I was really happy to just get to the finish.
“Things can change day to day. We’re hoping for the best, it’s still a long race. Obviously I’ll give everything I have tomorrow and the team will give everything they have but you’ve just got to hope that it’s better than today.”
