All his left side is a bit messed up but nothing serious," he said.Thomas remains 1min 35sec behind Alaphilippe in the overall standings ahead of three challenging days in the Alps.He also tumbled after flying over a barrier in the wild atmosphere in Brussels on the opening day, and again on the road to Saint-Etienne on stage eight.
Ewan meanwhile was following up his victory on stage 11 at Toulouse and with Nimes melting under 35 degrees Celsius the Australian was favourite for a repeat performance, this time edging Italian Elia Viviani on the line.
