Last year's winner of La Fleche Wallone,
Dylan Teuns was forced to skip the defence of his title this year after a persistent bout of flu. Now it seems the
Israel - Premier Tech rider will also be forced to miss
Liege-Bastogne-Liege.
"So he wasn't on his bike for about ten days, so it doesn't make sense to ride such a tough classic," says the Israel - Premier Tech sports director and former Fleche Wallone winner in his own right,
Rik Verbrugghe. “We now let Dylan calmly rebuild the condition."
