Having been dropped by the peloton on the way up Col du Tourmalet, Torstein Traeen (Uno X-Mobility) was seconds away from losing his Maillot Jaune as he sped down the other side of the mountain. As he approached a hard left turn, he overlapped his teammate's rear wheel in went down head-over-heals. He struggled to get back up, but eventual got to the upright and to the side of the road. He was checked out by the doctors and was cleared to ride on. No one wants to go out of the race while in the Maillot Jaune. He took his time but did finally get back on the bike and rode on to the end of the stage escorted by the very teammate who he ran into before crashing. He rolled across the finish almost a half-hour after the stage winner with his teammate Anders Johannessen. Clearly, he won't start tomorrow in yellow. The question remains will he be able to start stage 7 at all?
