EF Education-EasyPost Grand Tour contender Richard Carapaz will not compete at the upcoming Vuelta a España after being unable to train properly because of an infection that led to his withdrawal from the team for the Tour de France.
However, the Ecuadorian rider, who finished on the podium of the Giro d'Italia earlier this year, is almost fully recovered and setting his goals on the late-season Italian classics and the UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda.
