Watched the Porte crash live and it looked so nasty. Read the he fractured his clavicle and pelvis, along with a ton of road rash. All things considered, and crashing while going 45 mph and hitting a rock barrier, think he came out ok. Also big props to Dan Martin, the guy that was taken out in the crash and crashing again down the mountain, for getting back up and only finishing 2:00 behind the leaders.
As for Sagan, agree. While it looked like the elbow did come out, it was not go block or hit Cav. It was so Sagan could stay upright after being bumped and cutoff as the sprint shifted right along the barrier. Guess the upside, maybe a French cyclist will actually wear a leaders jersey on to the Champs-Élysées in a fortnight.
