Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) also had an incident on Mont Ventoux during stage 12 of the Tour de France. Yates was reportedly struck by a spectator shortly after fans caused a motorbike to stop and Chris Froome (Sky) to crash.
Yates rode clear after Froome fell with Richie Porte (BMC Racing) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), and strengthened his second place by dropping other general classification hopefuls. He now sits third overall after the 15th stage, but not without fighting his way through.
