Aleksandr Vlasov (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) has pulled out of the 2024 Tour de France on the first rest day after sustaining an ankle fracture during his crash on stage 9.
Vlasov came down heavily with 50km to go after losing control and sliding out on the side of the road into a ditch. He was seen getting up gingerly with blood visible across the left side of his body but it was his ankle that caused him to leave his second Tour.
