Mäder has a fatal accident

After a minute's silence on Saturday afternoon, only 113 riders were still at the start. The Swiss cycling team Tudor Pro Cycling, the Belgian cycling team Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and Mäder's team Bahrain-Victorious had previously cancelled their participation in the Tour. In addition, 17 riders from other teams cancelled after the tragic incident with Mäder. The time trial between St. Gallen and Abtwil went off without any major incidents on Sunday.

On Thursday, 26-year-old Mäder fell into a ravine at high speed on the descent from the Albula Pass to the finish in La Punt on the last few kilometres of the fifth stage and had to be resuscitated. One day later, the seriously injured Swiss rider died in hospital.
