The Tour de France comes to an end at the weekend. However, the tour fifth of two years ago will miss this experience.
This year’s Tour de France ends prematurely for Carlos Rodríguez. The Spanish team captain of Ineos suffered a hip fracture in a fall on the 17th stage.
The 24-year-old was involved in a mass crash in heavy rain in Valence on Wednesday. At this point, Rodríguez was tenth in the overall classification. “He will travel home and focus on rehab,” said the team. The season should be ended prematurely for the tour fifth of 2023.
In addition to Rodríguez, the Frenchman Cyril Barthe (FDJ groupama) also had to give up after the fall. He suffered a concussion. The Eritrean Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty), winner of the green jerseys last year, continued the race on Thursday. The German Sprinter Pascal Ackermann also got away with the horror and was largely unharmed.
