Wout van Aert Will Not Compete in the Tour de France

Van Aert sustained the injury in the lead-up to the Tour Auvergne–Rhône-Alpes. Van Aert, who won the Paris–Roubaix classic in mid-April, was forced to withdraw from the stage race—formerly known as the Critérium du Dauphiné—on Friday.

The Tour de France begins on Saturday, July 4, with a team time trial in Barcelona.
