2022 Flèche Wallonne winner Dylan Teuns will not defend his title at this year’s race due to illness. The Belgian has already been forced to miss Amstel Gold Race, and it is not clear if he will be fit to participate in Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday.

“Unfortunately defending champion Dylan Teuns has not recovered from his illness in time to line up,” read a statement from Israel Premier Tech on Tuesday. “A decision on his Liège-Bastogne-Liège participation will be made in the coming days.”
