Wout van Aert will not take part in this year’s Giro d’Italia as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a crash last month. <\/b><\/p>\n

Van Aert, 29, broke his collarbone and several ribs<\/a> at the Dwars door Vlaanderen one-day race in Belgium. <\/p>\n

He had been set to make his Giro debut, but could return in time for this summer’s Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

In a video message, Van Aert said his “ribs are still a limiting factor” and “at this point I cannot train at all”.<\/p>\n

Van Aert had to withdraw from the recent Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix classics, and will also miss the Amstel Gold Race, taking place from 14 April. <\/p>\n

The Visma-Lease A Bike rider said a “lot of injuries are quite good” but conceded it was “a big shame” not to be taking part in the Giro, which starts 4 May. <\/p>\n

“I’m really disappointed to miss my second big goal of the season but at this moment I need to prioritise my health and I need to give my body the time to recover,” he said. <\/p>\n

Van Aert, a nine-time Tour de France stage winner, is one of the favourites for the gold medal in the individual time trial and the 273km road race at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

France’s Christophe Laporte will replace Van Aert in Visma’s Giro team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
