The 26-year-old Mäder and another rider, Magnus Sheffield of the United States, went off the road near the same spot on a fast descent. It was near the end of the mountainous fifth stage. Race organizers say Mäder lay motionless in the water and was immediately resuscitated. Sheffield suffered a concussion and bruises and was treated at a local hospital.
