Tejay van Garderen has abandoned as per race radio.
Wow, any reason given, not near a TV.
American Tejay van Garderen withdrew from the Tour de France on Wednesday’s 17th stage when lying third overall, due to illness.
The 26-year-old BMC Racing team leader was three minutes and 32 seconds behind the Tour leader, Chris Froome (Team Sky), before the 161km from Digne-les-Bains to Pra Loup. But Van Garderen lost contact early on the first stage in the Alps and it soon became apparent all was not well. His BMC Racing team said he was suffering from headaches and Van Garderen abandoned midway through the stage.
