Victim of a broken pelvis on the Tour de Suisse, Frenchman Alexis Vuillermoz will be absent for at least ten weeks. The runner


There were only a hundred kilometers of racing left and less than two weeks before the Tour de France when Alexis Vuillermoz crashed this Saturday.

During the penultimate stage of the Tour de Suisse, a time trial, the 33-year-old Frenchman had to retire.

Additional examinations carried out in the evening confirmed a serious assessment.

The Total Direct Énergie runner suffers from a broken pelvis, which will keep him away from the roads for at least ten weeks.

His team also announced that Vuillermoz would be operated on this Sunday.

The results are not good for Alexis who suffers from a fractured pelvis.

He will undergo surgery tomorrow at the hospital and will be unavailable for at least 10 weeks 😔 The



whole team wishes you a good recovery Alexis 🙏 https://t.co/toQ8ZU01GF

The Jurassien is therefore forfeited for the Tour de France, which will start on June 26 in Brest.

A Brittany with a special flavor for Vuillermoz, since he won a stage on the Grande Boucle in 2015, at Mûr-de-Bretagne, where the Tour stops this year on Sunday June 27 (the day after the Grand Départ).

A brilliant success, before several big falls in recent seasons.

The Total Direct Énergie team will therefore be deprived of an experienced rider for the Tour de France.

A second absence in 3 months

It is also a new blow for the Jurassian, who was just coming back from injury after a dislocation of the left shoulder, which occurred in Paris-Nice in March. An absence of a month because, in addition, of a wound to the chin. Arrived from AG2R-La Mondiale in the offseason, Alexis Vuillermoz has been hit by bad luck since his transfer.
