BAGNERES-DE-BIGORRE, France: Rohan Dennis climbed off his bike early in Thursday's 12th stage of the Tour de France and neither the Australian nor his Bahrain Merida team would offer an explanation.
"We are as surprised as you are. We are also disappointed. We were expecting a great performance from him tomorrow in the time trial. It was his decision to stop at the feed zone," said Gorazd Stangelj, the team's sports director, after the stage. "We tried to talk to him, we stopped the car to discuss a solution. He told us he didn't want to talk and got in the car," said Stangelj."I don't know any more than you do.""We will have to clarify the situation at the hotel tonight," he said.
After the stage, teammate Dylan Teuns told French TV that he was puzzled after he was the first Bahrain rider to finish.
