PARIS (Reuters) – Several teams have pulled out of the Etoile de Besseges cycling race in France after a car came towards the peloton at a roundabout during the third stage on Friday.
“The safety of our riders and staff is of paramount importance. Following multiple incidents of public vehicles entering the race course our riders, together with other teams, have decided not to complete today’s stage at #EDB2025,” Ineos Grenadiers said.
Overall leader Paul Magnier’s Soudal Quick-Step team as well as Red Bull BORA-Hansgrohe, Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale, Lidl Trek, EF Education-Easy Post and Uno-X Mobility also abandoned the stage race.
