In a blow for the Astana Qazaqstan Team, Alexey Lutsenko has been forced to withdraw from the Tour de Suisse after a bout of illness that has effected him over the last couple of days.
Worryingly, with the Tour de France just a matter of weeks away, Lutsenko was one of the first riders out the back of the peloton of stage 3 of the Tour de Suisse as the climbing began. The 30-year-old eventually came home in 41st position, over four and a half minutes down on the stage winner, Mattias Skjelmose.
Also dropping out of the race is Lutsenko's teammate, Vadim Pronskiy. In an official announcement on their Twitter account, the Astana Qazaqstan Team revealed all.
"Unfortunately, Alexey Lutsenko and Vadim Pronskiy won’t start today due to a sickness," the post reads. "We wish both riders a fast recovery!"

- Rather stay in Denmark and pay taxes..that says a lot about him. Not many would do that, myself included.Santiago10-01-2026

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!

- 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.
