German cycling star Florian Lipowitz will not be going head-to-head with Oscar Onley at this year’s Tour de France. According to a statement from the 23-year-old Briton’s team, Onley will miss the 113th Tour de France due to a serious shoulder injury he sustained during the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a preparatory race. The Tour begins on 4 July in Barcelona.
Last year, Lipowitz managed to defend his third place overall on the Tour, ahead of the British rider. At times, it was a close contest between the two professionals. Onley eventually finished fourth in Paris.
