Try has he might, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) was just unable to continue with his Tour. It was such a wild reversal of fortune. Pinot left the Tour in tears while sitting fifth over all and just thirty seconds behind the man that would be in Yellow at the end of what turned out to be a very wild stage. Pinot was consoled by a teammate as he made the realization that he was going to have to climb off his bike with just two and a half stages to the line in Paris. I am sure if he had been well, he could have a serious chance of taking over the Maillot Jaune at the end of today's stage.
