Was that the same one with a horrible descent through a wet foggy forest where Uran finished in the top five despite his gears getting stuck?

Yes, the descent of the Mont du Chat. Dan Martin was right behind Richie Porte, who crashed out of the race, when he went down on that descent. He was incredibly fortunate not to get taken out of the race, but I think his back injuries stemmed from that crash.
Uran won the stage btw, despite being stuck in his largest gear.

6th with a broken back IIRC. I’ll never forget the footage of him jumping off at the end of a stage and being unable to straighten up at all
