Mathieu van der Poel has abandoned the Tour de France ahead of stage 16 after being diagnosed with pneumonia during the race’s second rest day.

Dutch cyclist Mathieu van der Poel has won the hilly second stage of the Tour de France after holding off defending champion Tadej Pogačar and two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard in a sprint to the line.

Since 2022, Van der Poel (eight), Pogacar (eight), and Evenepoel (four) have won 20 of the last 23 major one-day races (monuments and world championship/Olympic events) they have entered.

There is currently very little information as to whether Van der Poel and Gaze sustained any serious injuries in their crashes, as Alpecin-Deceuninck has yet to make any comment.
