Movistar announces Cian Uijtdebroeks withdrawal from Tour de France

Cian Uijtdebroeks was one of Movistar's key hopes for the general classification, blending youth and experience in the team's plan. Early stage fever and a dip in form weakened his performance, and the fifth and sixth stages proved too demanding.

The team posted a supportive message on social media, wishing him a swift recovery. His return is anticipated later in the season.
