Maeder, a member of Team Bahrain Victorious, suffered a fatal accident during the downhill finale of Thursday&#8217;s fifth stage and passed away at the age of 26 on Friday.<br \/>Team Bahrain Victorious had already withdrawn from the race on Friday, and Tudor and Intermarche joined them in solidarity prior to Saturday&#8217;s seventh stage. Despite the organisers&#8217; decision to continue the race after consulting the teams and Maeder&#8217;s family, Tudor and Intermarche felt it was necessary to withdraw.<\/p>\n<p>Tudor announced their decision on Twitter, stating, &#8220;After careful consideration and talking to both riders and staff, the team decided not to continue racing this year&#8217;s Tour de Suisse. Under these difficult circumstances, we feel it is the human way to respect the feelings of our riders and pay respect to Gino.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Intermarche echoed this sentiment, posting on social media, &#8220;After consultations with our riders and staff, we have decided to withdraw from the Tour of Switzerland. Our priority is to respect the mental health of our riders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the news of Maeder&#8217;s tragic passing, a 20-kilometre ride was organised in his honour, replacing the sixth stage. However, the organisers ultimately decided against cancelling the entire tour.<br \/>&#8220;After an emotional day and a very touching ride in memory of Gino Maeder, it was decided in consultation with the family of Gino Maeder that the Tour of Switzerland will continue,&#8221; said race director Olivier Senn on Friday.<br \/>Maeder&#8217;s untimely death prompted an outpouring of tributes from the cycling community, with two-time <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/tour-de-france\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" data-ga=\"Click-Hyperlink|link_topic-Tour de France-https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/tour-de-france\" target=\"\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tour de France<\/a> champion Tadej Pogacar posting on Instagram, &#8220;Rest in peace!
