Dries Devenyns (IAM) will not be taking the start of the Tour de France, which is scheduled to take place from July 2nd to the 24th. Though he had been selected to take part in his fourth Grande Boucle, one of his main goals for the season, the 32 year old Belgian rider will be unable to compete due to a bout of gastroenteritis, which can be traced back to the end of the Belgian road race championships.
The sports directors for IAM Cycling, in agreement with the team doctor, will discuss a possible date for a return to competition based on the evolution of his condition.
As a replacement for the Swiss professional team, the sports management has selected the 26 year old Australian, Leigh Howard.
