According to a report in Ouest France, Lilian Calmejane (AG2R Citroën) suffered a possible concussion in a crash during stage 3 of the Tour de La Provence on Saturday.

The Frenchman was the lone DNF on the results sheet while Lotto Soudal's Tim Wellens was suffering from a cold and sore throat and did not take the start in order to recover for the opening Belgian race, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
