The Swiss rider was part of the team's very strong lineup at the
Faun-Ardèche Classic this Saturday, alongside Isaac Del Toro, Brandon McNulty and Juan Ayuso. The latter two were part of the winning group, but both lost their chance to take the win as the group steered off course in the final roundabout - just as happened in the Volta ao Algarve.
But not all riders reached the finish, as Jan Christen crashed earlier in the day and abandoned the race. He suffered a collarbone fracture and has returned home, with a return date not planned out yet.
Christen started off with a victory at the Trofeo Calvia and later won the summit finish at the Alto da Fóia in the Volta ao Algarve, where he then carried the yellow jersey for several days.
