Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) has abandoned the 2020 Tour de France after concussion suffered in a crash on stage 13. The Frenchman was able to finish the stage, losing 2-30 to race leader Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) but has since been declared unfit to race onwards.

Bardet was taken for a brain scan following the end of the stage, having crashed around 90km from the finish along with Nairo Quintana (Arkéa-Samsic) and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), with the latter forced to abandon with a broken wrist.
