Frank Vandenbroucke will not ride the Giro d'Italia this year, he has told Sportwereld. After riding in Tuesday's Subida al Naranco, the Acqua e Sapone rider decided he wasn't ready for the Giro, which starts in 10 days.
"You have to be one hundred percent for such a hard three-week race. And I am not at that point," he said. "Certainly not with a knee that still acts up."
VDB only made 50 km in yesterday's Spanish race. "Five big climbs were too much of a good thing."
