It's been a rough start to the day for Team Jayco AlUla on two different continents as Dylan Groenwegen and Eddie Dunbar have both been forced to withdraw from their respective races.

In Saudi Arabia at the AlUla Tour, Groenewegen will not start stage 4 due to illness. "Unfortunately after suffering with gastrointestinal problems during stage 2 & yesterday attempting to race stage 3 of the #AlUlaTour, a decision has been made by our medical team that Groenewegen will not start today’s fourth stage," an official announcement reads.

Dunbar meanwhile departs the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana in more painful circumstances after a crash yesterday. "Dunbar was assessed by the doctor after crashing during yesterday’s stage 2 and the decision was made for him to rest and recover ahead of a busy season," says an update on the condition of the Irishman.
