After the setback that sidelined Enric Mas, another leader at Movistar will be forced to watch races from home for some time. Cian Uijtdebroeks, following the second round of medical tests conducted in recent hours, will have to give up the upcoming events scheduled for February to recover from the injury sustained last week at the Volta Comunitat Valenciana.

According to the new series of diagnostic exams he underwent, the Belgian has been diagnosed with a fracture to the radial head of his left elbow which, as communicated by the Spanish team (his new home this year after the last two seasons spent with Team Visma Lease a Bike), will require "active rest".
