The 29-year-old Tuscan from EF was the last Italian winner of the Ronde in 2019: the Dutch Van den Berg replaces him
No Tour of Flanders for Alberto Bettiol. The 29-year-old Tuscan from Ef Education had a fever last night and will not be able to be at the start of the Ronde on Sunday: he was the last Italian winner, in 2019. Bettiol will be replaced by the Dutch Julius van den Berg: this was communicated by the american team. A cancellation for Bettiol, for whom Flanders was obviously the most important appointment of the first part of the season. The Tour of Flanders will be the second classic Monument of the year after the Sanremo won by Van der Poel: the Dutchman is the reigning champion in Flanders and will start among the favorites together with Wout Van Aert and Tadej Pogacar. On the program 273 km from Bruges to Oudenaarde, the longest edition since 1988.
