Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious) has not been having the Tour he hoped for. He started the day in 35th having dropped from fifteenth on the fast mountain stage yesterday. He was dropped on the first climb of the day but managed to catch the peloton on the way across the valley. No sooner had the road head back up the Cote de Rocamadour than he popped back off. He was watching team cars drive off and the gendarme on the motorcycle zipped pass him on the way to the front of the race. So it wasn't much of a surprise when not long after this, his team car pulled over for a chat. He simply pulled up, got off the bike and climbed into the back seat with the mechanic. His Tour de France is over.
