In another setback for Tudor Pro Cycling, two-time World Champion Julian Alaphilippe has pulled out of this Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Eschborn-Frankfurt on May 1 due to medical reasons, the team announced on Saturday morning. They are already a main leader down for the next Monument of 2026 after Marc Hirschi crashed and broke his collarbone towards the finale of La Flèche Wallonne during the week, leaving the Swiss team without two former Liège podium finishers. Alaphilippe finished twice in 2015 and 2021, behind Alejandro Valverde and Tadej Pogačar , respectively, and also thought he won in 2020, but was beaten on the line by Primož Roglič after celebrating too early and then relegated to fifth for deviating in the sprint. Hirschi was bumped up to second in that latter edition.
