He had obtained the injury during stage five! Other riders had to tell his sports director that he was a danger to himself and others.
6. What pre-race favourite, unfortunately, had to abandon after breaking his collarbone during stage seven?

Answer: Bradley Wiggins

Having recently won the Critérium du Dauphiné Wiggins entered the Tour with high hopes. He was one among several high profit riders to pull out.
7. Chris Horner from the RadioShack team suffered concussion after crashing during stage seven. Yet he finished the stage. What question did he repeatedly ask after crossing the finish line?

Answer: Did I finish?

Footage of a dazed and confused Horner being loaded into the ambulance shocked quite a few.

10. Dutch rider Laurens ten Dam crashed during stage 14 and suffered facial injury which caused him to finish the stage with a piece of gaze over his nose. What reason did he give for continuing anyway?

Answer: Still 25 fewer (stitches) than Johnny
