Jumbo-Visma have confirmed that Steven Kruijswijk will miss the Tour de France after crashing out of the Critérium du Dauphiné. He dislocated and fractured his shoulder, and suffered multiple abrasions.

Kruijswijk was supposed to be part of Jumbo-Visma's trio of leaders alongside Primoz Roglic and Tom Dumoulin. However, he will now hope to recover from his injuries and ride the Giro d'Italia in October.
