PROFIL

Here are highlights from Stage 9 of the Tour de France. Robert Gesink, Geraint Thomas, and Richie Porte are out of the Tour with injuries sustained in crashes. Here is video of Porte's crash. The crashes obscured the best story of the day, which is Rigoberto Uran's victory. He had only one gear at the end as a result of a damaged derailleur. I believe his bike was damaged in the Porte crash. See here for the story.
