Overview
- The crash occurred on Saturday after race organisers briefly neutralised a descent because of gravel and the peloton restarted, with Seixas estimating he hit about 70 km/h when he lost control.
- He suffered multiple abrasions to his hands, knees and elbows and received on-road medical care but had no confirmed fractures according to team and race statements.
- Decathlon CMA CGM deployed several teammates in a prolonged chase that erased as much as four minutes and allowed Seixas to rejoin the favourites before the Grand Colombier.
- Isaac Del Toro won the penultimate stage on the Grand Colombier while Luke Tuckwell kept the overall lead going into the final day.
- Seixas started Sunday’s last stage but stopped at the foot of the Col de Bisanne and abandoned, a decision that may affect his final tune-up and medical checks ahead of the Tour de France.
