Cycling: Bardet abandons Tirreno-Adriatico after a concussion. The 33-year-old Frenchman considered it more prudent to leave the Italian race before the 6th stage.

This Saturday, a demanding day is offered to runners, with a series of climbs and descents, and a finish at the top of Monte Petrano. Two days from the finish, Vingegaard, the Danish double winner of the Tour, has a 54″ lead in the general classification.
