Alpe d’Huez, France July 24 : Colombian Einer Rubio has withdrawn from the Tour de France due to facial injuries after being involved in a heavy crash on the climb to Alpe d’Huez during Stage 19 on Friday, when he collided with a UAE Team Emirates support vehicle.
The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider, 27th in the overall standings, was forced to abandon the stage a few kilometres from the summit finish, where Tadej Pogacar claimed victory.
Video footage showed the 28-year-old Rubio crashing at speed into the back of a UAE team vehicle which had come to a sudden stop on a flatter section of the course.
