Tom Dumoulin will miss the next two races on his calendar after being unable to attend an altitude camp to prepare for Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-San Remo, he announced on Instagram. 

The Jumbo-Visma rider has not raced since last year's Critérium du Dauphiné because of a knee injury sustained in a crash during the 2019 Giro d'Italia. He was due to race the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana but fell ill two days before the race and returned home.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
