At the Tour de France in 1991 , his style in the mass sprint in Paris was his undoing: As the leader, he came too far to the right without being disturbed by an opponent and hooked up in the gang, whereupon he fell spectacularly into an advertising figure shortly before the finish line affected some competitors. He then had to carry the bike across the finish line with a broken collarbone to win the green jersey.
