I just noticed that Mads Petersen is DNF in the Tour (cyclinguptodate.com)

The stage began without a rider that had finished the day before: Mads Pedersen. The Dane was suffering from injuries sustained on stage 5 and ultimately abandoned the race. During the stage we have seen crashes and small injuries for Warren Barguil and Sandy Dujardin. Oscar Onley and Soren Kragh Andersen also came down on the day.

Shame, that.

I'm surprised how they often continue to ride after such crashes. If it was me, I'd be out for a month at least :S

Edit: typo

Yes, we know they're tough but these crashes always look so brutal. I'd be bawling in the street after Mads' crash into the walls.
