168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tobias Halland Johannessen has said that he's "terrified" of the threats he has received after he 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:caused Tadej Pogačar to crash in the final kilometres of stage 11 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France.
The Norwegian climber, currently lying 10th overall at the Tour, caused a moment of panic for the defending champion 4km from the end of a frantic stage in Toulouse after inadvertently cutting across Pogačar's front wheel.
The world cha𒉰mpion hit the ground hard before quickly mounting a chase, only for riders in the select GC group he was with to sportingly call a truc✅e and let him back in.
25-year-old Johannessen, racing his second Tour, took to social media on Wednesday night following the stage, won by hi꧒s Uno-X Mobility teammate Jonas Abrahamse🧜n, to apologise for the incident and reveal the exte❀nt of the abuse hꦫe received afterwards.
"I am terribly sorry for what happened to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tadej Pogačar. I was tryin𝐆ꦛg to follow a move, and I can see that I was too close," Johannessen wrote.
"I thought everyone would move to the right, but I made a mistake and would like to say sorry again🦩. I hope he is as good as he can be after a crash like that.
"I would, of course, like to do it again and do it differently, but I can't. That feels shit, but I would not wish anyone the amount of threats I get in my inbox. I am terribly sorry, but aꦜlso terrified of the hate from all the people. This feels very scary."

Johannessen, Pogačar, and the rest of the GC contenders eventually finished together in a group of 38 riders, 3:28 down on Abrahamsen at the end of the 156.8km stage.
Cyclingnews spotted Johannessen apologising to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:UAE Team Emirates-XRG directeur sportif Joxean 'Matxín' Fernández after the stage, with the Spaniard telling Cyclingnews, "Just now arriving to the car and the bus was Tobias to say sor💝ry and that it was involuntary, and I spoke directly to Tadej, and for him it's not a problem."
Pogačar, second overall and 29 seconds down on race leader Ben Healy heading into stage 12's first high-mountain test at Hautacam, later sent a message to Johannessen via teammate Tim Wellens' Twitter account.
"All good, don't stress. I hope people don't give you shit. People, stop giving him shit! It's all good, a racing incident and we fight on," he said, before UAE teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jhonatan Narváez jokingly interjected, "But keep the line, eh?"
