Overview
- Pinarello‑Q36.5 withdrew Pidcock on Saturday following Friday's fifth‑stage crash down a ravine.
- Team doctor Lorenz Emmert reported likely bone and ligament damage to his right knee and right wrist, with scans planned in the coming days.
- Pidcock said he misjudged a corner while taking a drink at roughly 60 kph on the penultimate descent.
- Television coverage did not capture the fall, and he used his team radio to call for help because he was far from the road.
- He still finished the stage more than 29 minutes behind winner Jonas Vingegaard after starting the day second overall at 13 seconds.
