Playing sport from a young age, my dad always said, "Never show them you're injured". Maybe it's a cultural thing but I find it unusual for a sportsperson to admit weakness mid-event.
I was surprised even that Froome and Sky were saying mid race that he was suffering from the crash (which was pretty obvious).
Perhaps this was exaggerated a bit, so that he would fly under the radar a bit before his dramatic attack?
