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."
In Teuns absence Michael Woods was the best-performing Israel - Premier Tech rider, finishing in a very respectable fourth place. For Teuns now it's all about recovery. "We do this, among other things, by including an altitude training camp in Andorra," Verbrugghe reveals.
"His next goal is the Tour de Suisse," the sports director continues. "That and the Tour de France are the new targets,”he concludes.

- Wow, sad and unlucky indeed if he can’t even cycle recreationally as a result of this.mobk09-01-2026
- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 °C), leaving his team with a man less.

leedorney09-01-2026 - it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
