‘Oh dear! – Richie Porte falls ill on Stage 19 of Giro d'Italia

A bout of gastroenteritis has brought Richie Porte’s final Grand Tour to a premature end. The 37-year-old was dropped with 100km to go and abandoned with 80km left. Ineos Grenadiers' Porte had been expected to fulfil a key role as team-mate Richard Carapaz attempted to defend his three-second lead over Jai Hindley (Bora-hansgrohe) in the general classification.
