Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) will not be starting the Itzulia Basque Country after he crashed while training and has been taken to hospital.
Pidcock was set to be one of the starters in the first hour of the opening stage, a hilly 10-kilometre time trial starting and finishing in the coastal city of Irun.
There were no specifications concerning Pidcock’s possible injuries.
“Following consultation between our Team doctor and the race medical team, Tom has been taken to a local hospital for further evaluation. Updates to follow.”
Recently ninth in Tirreno-Adriatico, and 11th in Milan-Sanremo, Pidcock was expected to feature in the action at the Itzulia Basque Country alongside teammate Carlos Rodriguez prior to heading to the Ardennes, where he finished second in Amstel and Liège-Bastogne-Liège last year.
