Following his crash during the Pau stage of the Tour de France, Amaury Capiot underwent further tests, which revealed a non-displaced sacral fracture, as well as a left peri-symphyseal fracture. His duration of unavailability will be communicated later.
Arnaud De Lie's Lotto-Dstny lead-out rider, Maxim Van Gils, was handed a 1500CHF fine and lost 60 UCI points for improper conduct: 'hit with the shoulder that endangered other riders.'
Video footage of the crash shows Van Gils launching his final lead-out for De Lie on the left-hand side of the road, carrying a high speed close to the barriers with 750 metres to go.
Capiot started stage 14 but was quickly dropped from the back of the peloton and then abandoned the Tour de France due to his injuries.
