Tour de France 2025: Withdrawals

Early in the opening stage, Filippo Ganna and Stefan Bissegger both hit the tarmac. They got back on their bikes, but neither would make it to the finish. The two time trial specialists thus became the first riders to abandon the 2025 Tour.

Green jersey Jasper Philipsen crashed hard in the run-up to the intermediate sprint and was forced to pull out.

Pogacar’s domestique João Almeida crashed heavily in the 7th stage and was forced to abandon two days later.
