Porte half full glass
RICHIE Porte has spoken of the horrific crash that ended his Tour de France.
Porte, who remains in a hospital under observation, believes he’s lucky to only have pelvis and collarbone fractures.
“I’m in a fair bit of pain and it’s a big disappointment to be honest,” the Aussie said.
“I think I was in great form and the teamwork was really strong around me, but after seeing the crash I also think I’m lucky to come away with the injuries I have.
He’s likely to recover in four to six week, but it’s unknown if Porte will race again this year.
