Cycling Ireland out on cost grounds. Sad for the riders really, not that they'd win but a big event to miss out on.

Julian Alaphilippe has been cleared to start training on the rollers, boosting his chances of defending his world title at the UCI Road World Championships in Australia on September 25.

The QuickStep-AlphaVinyl rider crashed out of the Vuelta a España on Wednesday, dislocating his shoulder. A scan carried out in Belgium on Friday revealed no further damage, allowing him to return to training.

“The scan has revealed there is no further damage than the dislocation originally diagnosed, meaning that Julian can begin mobilising the shoulder immediately, as well as training on his rollers,” the QuickStep-AlphaVinyl team said.

“Should the movement and the pain be manageable, he then should be able to start full training in the not-too-distant future.”

Good to hear he should be OK for it.
