Bahrain Victorious has withdrawn from the remaining two stages of the Tour de Suisse.

The team pulled out of Saturday's race after the sixth stage, a tribute to the Swiss riders, was neutralized and shortened. Tudor Pro Cycling and Intermarché Circus Wanty also announced that they would not continue racing.

Bahrain Victorious led the peloton home with an impressive ride in the last 20 km of Friday's stage.

"Following the tragic death of Gino Madel, Team Bahrain Victorious has decided to withdraw from the Tour de Suisse," the team announced early Saturday morning.

Race organizers announced on Friday that the race would end on Saturday and Sunday after consultations with Mader's family, riders, teams, and race staff. The Tour de Suisse women's race, which will start on Saturday, will also be held as planned.

On Saturday morning, Swiss professional team Tudor also announced that it would not be racing on the final two days of the race, and Intermarché Circus Wanty made the same decision.

"After careful consideration and discussions with both riders and staff, the team has decided not to continue racing in this year's Tour de Suisse. We feel that it is the humane way to respect the feelings of the riders and pay tribute to Gino under these difficult circumstances," read a statement released by Tudor.

"After discussions with the riders and staff following the tragic accident of Gino Mader, Team Intermarche-Circus Wanty has decided to withdraw from the Tour de Suisse. Our first priority is to respect the well-being of our riders. We will do everything we can to help Gino's family, friends and teammates," Intermarché-Circus Wanty commented.

Meanwhile, Q36.5 announced that it had decided to continue the race in memory of Mader.

"We are devastated by the loss of Gino Mader. He was an exceptional human being that we had the good fortune to know. We will miss him," said team general manager Douglas Ryder. As a Swiss team, we have made a collective decision to continue racing in his memory. Gino loved cycling and he loved Switzerland.

Several other teams announced that they would let their riders decide whether to continue racing. Stefan Kühn, Miles Scottson, Arnaud Demaret (Groupama-FDJ), Julius van den Bergh, Tom Scully (EF Education-Easy Post), Michael Scheer (AG2R Citroen), and Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma). Seventeen riders saw off the start of this stage, Marc Hirschi (UAE Team Emirates), Matthijs Rouvel, Dan McRae (Arkea-Samsic), Quinn Simmons (Trek-Segafredo), Mauro Schmidt (Sudar-Quick Step), Daryl Impey (Kriszt Neylans), Nicholas Schultz (Israel Premier Tech), Renate Van Etveldt, Sylvain Monique (Lot Destony).

The retirements mean that 37 riders will not start the 183.5 km race from Tübach to Weinfelden on stage 7, but more teams could decide to retire before the 12:15 local time kick-off.

The stage will take place as usual, but overall times will be measured 25 km from the finish. The battle for the stage win will take place as usual, as will Sunday's time trial to Abdeville.
