Diminué par une bronchite depuis le Tour du Pays basque, David Gaudu n'est pas suffisamment remis pour prendre le départ de la Flèche wallonne et de Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
David Gaudu misses out on Ardennes classics due to bronchitis
CyclingWednesday, 20 April 2022 at 10:00
After a strong start to the season at the Volta ao Algarve, David Gaudu has struggled with health issues that have now forced him out of the Ardennes classics which were his final goal of the spring.
Gaudu had been sick throughout Paris-Nice at a time where a significant portion of the peloton had came down with respiratory illness, where he failed to perform. His return at Itzulia Basque Country saw him near the front in the opening days, however as the race went deeper into the week Gaudu once again didn't manage to respond to expectations and ended up a modest 18th spot. Unknown to many was that he had caught a bronchitis, and the team said he did not recover enough to take to the start of Flèche Wallone and Liège-Bastogne-Liège where he was going to lead Groupama - FDJ.

My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
