Jumbo-Visma have admitted that Wout van Aert’s participation in Sunday’s Tour of Flanders is unlikely after the Belgian missed Thursday’s course recon.
“Unfortunately Wout is not joining in for the recon ride today,” said team directeur sportif Grischa Niermann. “Unfortunately he’s not feeling really fit and he’s staying at home for that reason. We have to do it at least today without him.
“If we only miss him today for the recon ride it wouldn’t be too bad, but of course we have to admit that now there’s a chance he will miss the race.”
