Soudal-QuickStep will be without their planned leader, Paul Magnier, for the first Monument of the year at Milan-San Remo on Saturday, with the Frenchman still suffering after crashing twice on the final day of Tirreno-Adriatico.
Magnier crashed hard at high speed during the final sprint on stage 7 in Italy, after already coming down during the final day. A medical update from the team confirmed that he'd only suffered bruising and abrasions.
