While the two cyclists in front of him managed to avoid the impact, Carr fired his back into the marked pole and fell to the ground.
The good news is that, despite the terrifying-looking scene, the rider, with the help of an escort, managed to sit back in the saddle and finish the stage, with his teammate Alex Howes reaching the finish line with a twelve-minute loss.
“Thanks to everyone who worried about me after seeing my fall on TV. I have a few bruises on the right side of my body. But when I saw my fall again, I’m especially glad that I got back and round and I’m relatively okay, “commented Carr on his instagram account.
