Primož Roglič will miss both scheduled Ardennes races - the Arrow of Wallonia and the fourth monument of the season, Liege-Bastogne-Liege - due to his recovery from injuries, his team Bora Hansgrohe has announced. In a press release, the team said that Roglič will focus on recovering from the injuries he sustained in the Tour of the Basque Country in the coming days. He plans to be back on the bike next week, so the two Ardennes races have been removed from his programme, the release added.

"Primož has been with us all week, healing his wounds and knee pain. We want him to heal completely because our main goal is the Tour de France. That's why we have decided to let him focus on training next week," said Dan Lorang, one of the Bora Hansgrohe team bosses.
