The Bahrain Victorious team have withdrawn from the Tour de Suisse following the death of their rider, Gino Mäder, after crashing into a ravine on Thursday’s stage.
The team made the announcement on social media on Saturday, after it was confirmed that the race would continue with the final two stages this weekend despite Mäder’s death. Friday’s stage had been neutralised, with riders completing the final 20km together as a mark of respect for the 26-year-old.
