Following Oscar Onley's crash on stage six of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, further medical investigations have confirmed a significant shoulder injury.
Unfortunately, this means Oscar will be unable to compete in this year’s Tour de France.
He has already begun rehabilitation and is making encouraging progress. We wish Oscar a full and speedy recovery.
I’m gutted not to be able to line up for the Tour de France this year. My focus is now on recovering and getting my shoulder in a good place, but I’m really motivated to try and make something out of this season.
