Porte crashes out of Tour

Australian Richie Porte has pulled out of the Tour de France after damaging his shoulder in a crash 10 kilometers into the ninth stage, a 156.5km ride from Arras yesterday. The BMC Racing rider, who also crashed out of the Tour last year, was one of the main contenders to finish on the podium in Paris. Porte finished fifth overall in 2016. He was sitting 10th in this year’s race, 57 seconds behind teammate and yellow jersey holder Greg van Avermaet of Belgium. After the first rest day today, the Tour resumes in the Alps tomorrow.
