Waiting for his photo giving the “thumbs up” to confirm

from Ineos site:

"Porte was assessed by the team back at the hotel before being taken to hospital for a scan - with the results thankfully revealing no fractures."

Should be back on the bike fairly quickly then. All not lost.

Back on the bike and in decent form. Yay!

Let's see how Richie goes in the mountains.

Good to see but he's probably just Yate's 3rd last guy in the train this week

Yeah, but he'll sneak his way into GC leadership after the first ITT in July

I noticed that Porte is quietly riding in Tenerife at altitude with Ineos at the moment. Obviously preparing the Giro to support Bernal whilst everyone is focused on the Roglic and Pogacar show in Basque Country ? If Richie was optimizing his form for the Tour he wouldn't be riding altitude this soon?

Sorry Richie.

P.S. Likely Richie was watching Itzulia Basque Country too.
