    Today's stage cancelled and replaced with a short condolence ride. The riders took part in a short ride through Kufstein this morning before stopping at the race start point. They then are travelling in team cars to Innsbruck area where they will ride a 15km neutralised section to Patscherkofel.

    Swiss rider Nils Aebersold (Lidl-Trek), who was also at the Tour of Austria, has said that he didn't see Andre Drege's fall, but he has been told by others that Drege had a front wheel puncture.
