Casper Pedersen abandons the Tour de France

Casper Pedersen abandons the Tour de France

The last stage of this edition to take place entirely on Italian soil was the longest one (almost 231 kilometers) and travelled from Piacenza to Torino, the first capital of Italy, more than 150 years ago. It was a quiet day, with just two breakaway attempts – both easily reeled in by the peloton – but with several crashes in the final 15 kilometers, things became hectic in the outskirts of Torino.

Casper Pedersen was one of the riders to hit the deck, with 15 kilometers to go, and the Dane suffered a collarbone fracture that forced him to leave the Tour. Casper, who was riding his third Grande Boucle, will undergo further examination at the hospital in Herentals, Belgium, in the coming days, where he will be assessed and a course for his further medical treatment and recovery will be decided. 

Another crash then took place just a couple of kilometers from the finish, disrupting the lead-out trains and splitting the peloton into several groups. It was Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) who took the win in the Piedmont, while Remco Evenepoel crossed the line together with the yellow jersey group and kept his white jersey. Ahead of Tuesday’s tough stage four, concluding in Valloire after an ascent of the mighty Col du Galibier, Soudal Quick-Step’s Belgian sits in third place overall, same time as the leader of the race.
