Hypothermia at the Tour of California

From this article:

Five hours into the race, the weather conditions caused some of the strongest men in the field to dissolve. Stewart and Meade would leave the breakaway and abandon the race due to signs of hypothermia. More than a dozen others would abandon the race due to the collapse in their core temperatures.

“He went from being an animator, taking all the KOMs, being in control of everything he wanted to do,” said Gavin Chilcott, team director of Team BMC, of Stewart. “He was in control of all that until he lost control of his core temperature. You can’t operate your brakes.”
