Bouhanni to start Tour de France after Nationals crash

Cofidis announced on Monday via Twitter that their sprinter Nacer Bouhanni will participate in this year’s Tour de France set to start on Saturday in Utrecht.

The Frenchman was involved in a high-speed crash during the final sprint at the road national championships on Sunday, after FDJ rider Anthony Roux made an abrupt move across the road in front of him. Bouhanni had x-rays taken following the crash, which showed no fractures but he does have cartilage damage between his ribs.
