The Tour de France was brutal this year

There were a lot of crashes. It was a really tricky first week of racing, and it was unfortunate to see so many of the big contenders losing out so early on. But for me, just to be back in the Tour de France after my big crash two years ago felt amazing. That’s what’s been motivating me to complete the recovery process, and being back there and just being able to finish it felt like a win in itself.
