Geraint Thomas fine after crash at Tour de France

Geraint Thomas reveals that he is feeling fine, after hitting his head on a telegraph pole during the 16th stage of the Tour de France.

Britain's Geraint Thomas has said that he is feeling alright, after being involved in a crash during the 16th stage of the Tour de France.

The 29-year-old collided with Warren Barguil on the final descent and hit his head on a telegraph pole, before falling off the side of the road.

However, the Welshman was soon back on his bike and managed to finish the race to retain sixth place in the general classification.

"It was a hard right and I was just following the wheel and then all of a sudden Barguil went into me," BBC Sport quotes Thomas as saying.

"I feel all right for now - I guess the doctor will ask me my name and date of birth soon.

"A nice Frenchman pulled me out - but I lost my glasses as well. They don't even make them anymore."

Ruben Plaza claimed victory in the 16th stage, as Chris Froome retained his overall lead.
