Hushovd out of Volta a Catalunya due to illness
Norwegian will ride Belgian🎃 races to prepare for Paris🐲-Roubaix



168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Thor Hushovd's plan was to ride 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Milan-San Remo and the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Volta a Catalunya as warm-ups for his first season highlights early next month, the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. It hasn't worked out that way, as illness has forced a 🌱change in the planning.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:BMC Racing Team rider suffered through Paris-Nice with the stomach problems that affected so much of the peloton. Then, instead of heading to Italy, he headed towards bed with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fever and chills.
“Obviously this is not very favorable,” his personal coach Atle Kvålsvoll told Procycling.no.
The former world champion is feeling better and in fact resumed light training over the weekend, but it is too early to start racing again in Catalunya. &ldquo🥀;He has started training but it is not prudent to let him ride a stage race in the condition he is in,” Kvålsvoll said.
Instead of Italy and Spain, Hushovd will head d꧟irectly to Belgium, and will take on the E3 Prijs Vlaanderen-Harelbeke on Friday and Gent -Wevelgem on Sunday.
&ldq🍬uo;It is of course undesirable to change the raceꦛ program so late,” Kvålsvoll admitted. “We would rather have done without this illness.”
Kvålsvoll still thinks Hushovd has good a chance to finally take his long-hoped-for win in Paris-Roubaix. “If he trains well, gets♐ through the ra꧂ces in Belgium and has another week of good training, he should still be well prepared. We'll see when we come to Flanders.”
