Wout van Aert is to skip the Giro d'Italia because of the injuries he suffered in a crash at Dwars door Vlaanderen last month, it was announced on Thursday.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider said he was "disappointed" to be missing the Italian Grand Tour, which was set to be one of the biggest goals of the season, after the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, which he also missed.
