Luke Plapp (Jayco-AlUla) has ended his Australian racing season early, with his team announcing that the rider who came sixth overall at the Tour Down Under would be sitting out the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race on Sunday as a result of a wrist injury.
Plapp was seen racing with a heavily taped left wrist earlier in the Australian summer season and told Cyclingnews in Adelaide on Sunday that he had re-aggravated an earlier injury in December when he crashed in training while descending Mount Buffalo.
