Fränk Schleck was worried about his descending skills after suffering a horrible crash in last month’s Tour de Suisse. Schleck was poised to take the leader’s jersey at the Swiss tour when he crashed on a wet corner and catapulted over the guardrail into a ravine. Luckily for Schleck, he wasn’t seriously injured, but the nasty fall left him shaken. Ahead of the start of this year’s Tour, he was pulled aside by five-time Tour winner Bernhard Hinault, who offered a few words of advice. “Bernhard gave me a few pointers and told me some things to remember when I am going downhill. Those few minutes really paid off today. I was remembering what he told me and it helped,” Schleck said
