I think it's just bad luck, I can't really explain it," said the 31-year-old Russian who crashed twice on the 17th stage from Bourg Saint Maurice to Le Grand Bornand.
He began the 17th stage from Bourg Saint Maurice to Le Grand Bornand only 1:46 off the pace of race leader Alberto Contador, with seven-time champion Lance Armstrong second at 1:37.
He is also a Legionnaire in the Order of Saint Maurice, a Noble Patron of Armor in the Order of Saint George, and a member of the Honorable Order of Saint Barbara.
