It was a sad day for Tinkoff on the 184.5km 9th stage of the Tour de France as team leader Alberto Contador abandoned the race.
A technical run to the finish of Stage 6 of the 2016 Tour de France saw the Tinkoff team surrounding Alberto Contador to keep him safe, with road furniture, tight turns and teams jostling for position creating risks before the sprint.
After a bittersweet victory for the team yesterday with Peter Sagan winning and taking the team’s first yellow jersey while GC leader Alberto Contador lost time after another heavy fall, stage 3 was a much steadier affair.
