Rohan Dennis withdraws from Birmingham Commonwealth Games due to medical reasons
CyclingSunday, 07 August 2022 at 11:39
Rohan Dennis will be absent from today’s road race at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. He was not feeling well this morning and taken to a hospital for tests and observations.
The Australian Commonwealth Games team officially announced the news on their official website. “Rohan Dennis will take no further part in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games following medical advice,” read the statement by the team.
The team did not reveal any particular medical problem. “Dennis woke up on Saturday morning in discomfort and was taken to a local hospital to undergo tests and observations,” read the statement by the team.
His withdrawal is a huge setback for the Australian team as he was in good form and even took gold in the Men’s Individual Time Trial on Thursday. The team will enter the race with Luke Durbridge, Luke Plapp, Miles Scotson, and Sam Fox.

- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
