I'm going on Google Translate, but 'fibrillar breaks' would mean pulled tendons or ligaments, not broken bones.

I don't have translate on my iPad, and Spanish is not good (despite my long held preference for Spanish climbers) so I'm going by the reports of others.

That's not what the link says.

translator suggests it's a muscular injury (4 weeks out)

The tests, said Dr. Manuel laws mean that has multiple bruises and two fibrillar breaks, affecting the quadriceps and the calf of his leg.
Thanks

Sagan/Cummings odds-on favourites. Rui Costa perhaps. The rest can only win if the stars align.

Since when is Cummings better than Greg van Avermaet?

Best does not equal best chance of winning the stage, especially from breaks ehh.. but yea GVA should be equal close favourite.
