Lidl - Trek have taken a big win at the Tour de France yesterday as Mads Pedersen was victorious in the sprint on stage 8. This morning however the team has revealed less positive news as Quinn Simmons as been forced to abandon the race.
The American was victim of a crash early on stage 5 suffering a large amount of road rash. He has managed to finish the stage and move onto the following days, however as pulled the plug on his second Tour this morning.
Unfortunately, we have to report that @QuinnSimmons9 will not start @LeTour today. Since his heavy crash on Stage 5, Quinn’s condition has not improved as we had hoped. He still feels stiffness and fatigue so we have decided to stop him to focus on his recovery.
