Daniel Martinez DNS stage 15 of the Tour de France after showing signs of concussion
CyclingSunday, 16 July 2023 at 13:10
Daniel Martinez was one of the many, many riders caught up in the mass crash at the start of stage 14 at the Tour de France. Sadly after overnight checks, he will not start today's stage 15.
Unfortunately, Dani Martinez will not take to the start of stage 15 after a crash he suffered in yesterday’s stage," says an official statement on the INEOS Grenadiers Twitter account. "After further medical assessment by our Team doctor post stage, symptoms of concussion were detected."
This marks a bit of bad news for the team after two brilliant days in the Alps have brought them back-to-back stage wins through Michal Kwiatkowski and Carlos Rodriguez, with Martinez becoming the second INEOS abandon after Ben Turner.
"Dani will now adhere to the Team’s concussion recovery protocols, before being cleared to race again," the Twitter post concludes.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
