Canadian Ryder Hesjedal falls, reportedly pulls out of Tour of Switzerland
MERINGEN, Switzerland – Canadian Ryder Hesjedal is reportedly out of the Tour of Switzerland after falling on the third stage.
Reports says the 32-year-old from Victoria fell 150 kilometres into the 203-kilometre stage from Montreux to Meringen. He was transported to a local hospital for further observation.
Hesjedal had been doing well in his comeback race after failing to defend his Giro d’Italia title last month when he was forced to withdraw due to illness.
The Canadian was in second place overall after Stage 2.
A spokesman for Team Garmin-Sharp said an update on Hesjedal would be provided later.
