MALAUCENE, France :Jonas Vingegaard hit the deck after the finish of the 16th stage of the Tour de France when he was jostled by a photographer on the top of Mont Ventoux, the two-time Tour de France champion said on Tuesday.
"Some photographer just ran straight in front of me straight after the finish line, I don't know what he was doing," the Danish rider told reporters.
"Yeah I went down. People in the finish area should use their eyes a bit more."
Vingegaard, who did not appear hurt, finished two seconds behind overall leader Tadej Pogacar and stayed second, 4:15 off the pace.
