Tobias Halland Johannessen

“I think it's something that happens, but I really didn't want him to crash and I don't think any other guy in the peloton wants Pogačar to go down. We just stopped and waited in the group straight away, and I hope he's fine, but I think it's something that happens. But for sure, I feel sorry for him because you never want to go on the ground.”
