"I was drinking on the descent and misjudged a corner, Pidcock said in team statement. I overshot it and went down the ravine. It was like one of these horror crashes you see, but I'm very lucky that I am OK."
"Unfortunately we had to make the decision to take him out of the race. Further clinical evaluation and imaging will follow in the next days additionally to the already-initiated healing process."
"I fought to finish the stage yesterday to make sure I had the option to continue. Now the focus is on recovery, and I'll be back."
