Time trial specialist Rohan Dennis quits the Tour de France in most bizarre fashion. No one seems to know why he withdrew, let alone withdrew ahead of a key time trial, where he’d be considered a favorite.

re: #30 sagehen

Was he about to be sent for blood and/or urine tests? And he can avoid the tests if he’s not racing?

Was watching the race. Announcers were completely confused. And no, there was no way for him to know if he was going to be tested at the end of the stage. And, riders can be tested any time (not in the middle of a race stage of course). Even out of season unannounced random testing is conducted. More likely it’s a personal problem, or a team related disagreement
