No

He was in the break, they went over a climb, he was dropped near the top and we never saw him again. Commentators said a little later that he had abandoned, gave no reason.

Yeah, hopefully HH is just recovering. I'd hate to think he has been injured again. Shame he's not part of the WC aussie team, I thought he would have been in with a great chance.
