The Belgian Dylan Teuns, ill, must give up taking the start on Wednesday of the Flèche wallonne, of which he is the outgoing winner, announced his Israel-Premier Tech team on Tuesday.

Teuns, 31, is suffering from the flu which prevented him from taking part in the Flèche Brabançonne and the Amstel Gold Race last week. “Unfortunately, Dylan is not delivered in time to align. A decision on his participation in Liège-Bastogne-Liège (Sunday) will be taken in the coming days“said his team. Teuns won last year at the top of the Huy wall, in the colors of the Barhain team, ahead of the five-time winner Alejandro Valverde, now retired.
