Italian time trial giant Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) became the first rider to abandon the 2025 Tour de France after the consequences of a mid-stage fall proved too much, with Ganna pulled out of the race some 40 kilometres further on.
Ganna fell heavily on a right-hand bend, reportedly spinning over the bars. After a lengthy period evaluating his injuries and getting a bike change, he opted to continue.
