Pro cycling is tough on its own, but getting knocked over by your own team car certainly makes for a lousy day at the office. That’s what happened to UAE’s Mavi Garcia during stage four of the Tour de France Femmes.
The Spanish national champion was hit by her car toward the end of the race, which included several gravel sections and plenty of crashes. Garcia had already had a rough day, having had to chase back on after two flats.
Going into the stage, Garcia was sixth overall just 55 seconds behind leader Marianne Vos (Team Jumbo-Visma.)
After the collison, she couldn’t catch back onto the lead group, finishing 33rd, losing 3:11 back. She falls down the standings to 11th overall, 2:26 behind.
You’ll struggle to find someone who’s having a worse day that Mavi García
