Rider exits on ambulance
Print Edition
German rider Tony Martin exited the Tour de France by ambulance early on stage 11 yesterday after suffering face and leg injuries when tumbling into a deep roadside ditch, having been at the center of a crash-marred opening day that saw a fan knock half the peloton down.
Martin was the rider who collided with a roadside fan brandishing a sign last week that caused a spectacular mass pile-up on stage one from the Atlantic port city of Brest.
Yesterday鈥檚 stage saw the Jumbo rider fall into a ditch just outside the Provence town of Sorgues shortly after the departure for a double ascent of the Tour鈥檚 most famous climb, the Mont Ventoux.
Martin was also hurt on stage 1 and was vocal in calls for the roadside fan that day to be severely punished, not for causing the crash, but for failing to stick around and help.
The woman held up a sign reading in French and German 鈥楢llez Opi Omi鈥 (Come on Grandad and Grandma) and stepped out into the route of the oncoming peloton to flash her sign at motorbike mounted television cameras.
