After analysing his early season, Remco Evenepoel's Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe team have decided to alter his run-in to the Tour de France. He will now miss the Tour Auvergne Rhone-Alpes (formerly known as the Critérium du Dauphiné) in early June – a race that is traditionally seen as a key warm-up for the Tour.
Instead, the Belgian rider will spend the month undertaking recons for July as well as focused training and recovery.
