Australia's Richie Porte missed a bend during a descent coming off his bike at 70 kilometres per hour during a descent on the ninth stage.

It's left him with a fractured pelvis and collarbone.

SBS cycling commentator Michael Tomalaris says many considered the descent as too dangerous to begin with.

He's speaking here to Greg Dyett.
