Oscar Onley has been ruled out of next month’s Tour de France with a shoulder injury, his team Netcompany-Ineos have confirmed.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 23-year-old Scottish rider sustained the injury after crashing on stage six of the Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes in France.<\/p>\n
Onley’s team first announced he had dislocated his shoulder but further tests revealed he had suffered a “significant shoulder injury”.<\/p>\n
Last year, Onley finished fourth in the Tour de France to equal the best result by a Scottish rider, previously achieved by Philippa York (then known as Robert Millar) in 1984.<\/p>\n
“I’m gutted not to be able to line up for the Tour de France this year,” said Onley.<\/p>\n
“My focus is now on recovering and getting my shoulder in a good place, but I’m really motivated to try and make something out of this season.”<\/p>\n
In a statement, Netcompany-Ineos added Onley has begun rehabilitation and is making encouraging progress.<\/p>\n
The Tour de France starts in Barcelona on 4 July and ends at the Champs-Elysees in Paris on 26 July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
