Cycling Australia have announced that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rohan Dennis will skip Saturday’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tokyo Olympics road race in order to help prepa🎶re for the men’s individual time trial. 

Dennis is one of the main favourites for a medal in the individual time trial that takes place next week but his move to skip the road race leaves his team with just three riders, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richie Porte, Luke Durbridge and Olym💃pic𓃲 debutant Lucas Hamilton.

The news of Dennis🔯’ decision was posted online by the Australian team.

“Hamilton will be joined on the start line by Luke Durbridge and their team leader Richie Porte while Rohan Dennis will sit out the road race to prepare for next weౠek's individual time trial,” read the press release on the Australian Olympic ꧙site.

Five years ago in Rio, at the last Olympic Games, Dennis pulled ♚out of the road race at the feed zone before turning his attention to the time trial.

Dennis was on course for a medal at the Rio time trial but a mechanical issue with his bars inside the final 15km of the race saw him slip down the leaderboard to fifth, with Fabian Cancellara taking go🦩ld, Tom Dumoulin silver, and Chris Froome bronze.

The two-time time trial world champion has made the Olympic Games the centerpiece of his 2021 season and he's in Tokyo after surprisingly missing out of Tour de France selection at Ineos Grenadiers, having initiꦅally been on the long-lꩵist.

Dennis is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:set to leave the team at the end of the current campaign, having agreed a two-year dea🅷l with Tour rivals Jumbo-Visma. The deal is set to be annou⭕nced after the transfer window opens on August 1.
