Gino Mäder succumbs to dehydration and gastrointestinal at Tour de Suisse
CyclingThursday, 16 June 2022 at 11:38
Bahrain - Victorious have this morning announced the departure from the Tour de Suisse from two of it's main riders, Gino Mäder and Hermann Pernsteiner who were expected to play a big role in the mountainous stages.
Mäder had been hinted as one of the big favourites for the race, and he himself said this was was "the highlight of my season". He had visibly struggled throughout the opening stages, being dropped from the GC group on several occasions, and it has been confirmed that the heat caused serious difficulties to the Swiss climber.
His teammate Hermann Pernsteiner, who alongside Mäder is scheduled to be at the Tour de France, has also pulled the plug on his race. Bahrain - Victorious remain in the yellow jersey as Stephen Williams remains solid in the position he's obtained on the first day, but the Briton will now have virtually no support entering the most complicated stages of the race.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
