Gert Steegmans will not ride Milano-Sanremo this year, telling his Team Katusha that it would be better to give his place to a teammate who is fitter.
The Belgian went into Paris-Nice after a bout with the flu, and is still not up to speed. He is currently in 34th place, only 1:54 down. He hopes to finish the race in decent condition and get healthy again, according to Sportwereld.
