Summary
Sepp Kuss slammed into a low concrete barrier on a sweeping descent late in Tour de France Stage 20, with a catch fence stopping the American from going over a steep drop.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider had understeered wide while leading near the finish, and the crash was his second of the day after another spill in the final 10 kilometers.
That second fall cost Kuss the stage lead and left him third, while Richard Carapaz went on to win by 31 seconds on Alpe d'Huez.
A victory would have been Kuss's first Tour stage win since 2021 and the first by an American in the race since that earlier Kuss triumph.
