Adam Yates abandons the Critérium du Dauphiné 2019
The Brit climbed off with less than 50km remaining of the final stage

Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) has abandoned the Critérium du Dauphiné 2019.
The Brit climbed off with less than 50km of the final stage remaining, and was in second place in the overall classification, only eight seconds behind the race leader Jakob Fuglsang (Astana).
The Dauphiné's English race radio Twitter account confirmed that Adam Yates had quit the race.
Mitchelton-Scott's sports director, Lorenzo Lapage, apparently told race organisers that Yates had been suffering from an upset stomach. However, this is yet to be confirmed by his team or any official channels.
Michael Woods (EF Education First) abandoned the race before the start of stage eight after falling ill overnight due to the horrendous weather during stage seven.
Steven Kruijswisk (Jumbo-Visma) also abandoned during stage eight with 16km remaining.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
