I saw that this morning, wasn't able to continue to watch and find out if he was okay. They said he just lost the bike beneath himself on the decline where other riders were going up to 60mph heading to the finish line downhill !
He's okay? He really hit the back of his head hard on that pole during the descent.
Watched again, two riders bumped.

One of his teammate went back to pace him to the finish, he still is in 6th place overall. Only time will tell if he is ok and starts tomorrow.

GAP, France (VN) — Moments after crossing the finish line, everyone was asking Geraint Thomas (Sky) if he was OK following his horrific crash on one of France’s most dangerous descents.

A doctor asked him his name, and without batting an eye, Thomas replied, “Chris Froome.”
