He rode 90k on his own in agony. The announcer foir the podiums had to exhort the crowd not to leave after the ceremonies had finished as he hadn't arrived yet. He was persuaded to climb back on with the toughest part of the day remaining. I assumed it was because there was a chance he might recover and do something over the remaining of the Tour, but given how bad his injuries are it just looks masochistic. or sadistic, and plain daft really.
Yes a heroic sufferfest, but also a bit of a waste.
