ScottCM Posted July 11, 2014 Share Simon Gerrans spoke to letour.fr this morning. On paper, he'd be a hot favorite for today's stage as the two climbs in the last 17km suit him. He knows the côte de Maron since he rode the Tour de France for the first time with AG2R in 2005 but the straight and steep Côte de Boufflers is new to him. However, he was victim of a painful crash caused by Mark Cavendish towards the finish in Harrogate. “I've recovered since the crash but I'm still not at 100% of my capacities”, said the Australian national champion. “I'm getting better each day though. There's still lots of bruising coming out. I must wait and see on the road how I feel today before I know if I can be a contender for today's stage. But my intention is to go for it. In the team, we also have Michael Albasini as a back-up rider in case I can't do it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
