"I'm demoralized, desperate"

One might think Amets Txurruka would have gotten used to packing his bags early and head home with his arm in a plaster after three collarbone fractures in six Tour de France starts. In an interview with Noticias de Álava, he says he's everything but.

"It's not normal I break my clavicle so many times", he said. "I'm desperate, demoralized, everything... It sucks to go home early. It cost me a lot to get here, and now I'm heading home without having contributed. I've spent all week waiting for the mountains, and now I won't get the chance to do my work."
