Last week on Watts Occurring the guys previewed the Tour de Suisse with an excited G - but this week they had to ask him about an innocuous crash that saw him head home from Switzerland early.

Has it wrecked his Tour prep? Is he recovered?

He answers both of those questions in this week's pod and looks back at the winner in Suisse, the impressive Joao Almeida.
