Instead of just silencing these rumours with some evidence, hell, even some x-rays or so, they give us nothing. The tinfoilhatters have a field day in this way, can't blame them really. This is the age of mobile phones everywhere, except in such a major event involving a 4-time TdF winner.
There are two explanations here.
1. Ineos fake a crash and then involve the following: Dan Martin & UAE, villagers of Roanne, French paramedics, Roanne hospital staff, a helicopter crew and St. Etienne hospital staff, including not one but two senior surgeons. (Fortunately not a single one of them had the ethics to say no). But then they forget to make the photo they send out dramatic enough. The reason for this is unknown as is why a simple 'unknown virus' couldn't have done the job .
2. Froome crashed and there are some real idiots on Twitter.
It's a dilemma for sure
