In the post race interview he said he was checking his Garmin and saw the water a bit too late. He was afraid he would crash on the wet and slippery asphalt if he tried a last second manoeuvre to the left so he hoped the puddle wouldn't be that bad.
And Valter rode into a pothole he couldn't see. During the recon he rode on the other side of the road because of traffic. But the pothole was obscured by the water.
