# Cycling: Ineos’s top-ranked rider Carlos Rodriguez pulled out of the Tour de France after suffering a broken pelvis on Stage 17’s late mass pile-up. In 10th position going into the rainy flat stage the Spanish climb specialist became entangled in a spectacular pile-up of flying bikes and bodies on the home straight at Valence yesterday. Rodriguez would have been an outside contender for a stage win in the Alps over the next two days of daunting climbing to Col de La Loze, and La Plagne.
