Richard Carapaz, the reigning Tour de France king of the mountains, will miss this year’s race after developing a gastrointestinal infection training at home in Ecuador.
“Last week, he began experiencing abdominal pain and a high fever,” his EF team said on their website. “[Doctors] have advised against long-haul travel and competition at this time. As a result, Richard will not take part in this year’s Tour de France.”
