Marianne Vos is out of the Tour of Flanders

Marianne Vos' absence from racing will continue for another weekend as the Dutch star will not race Sunday's Tour of Flanders. Vos, who won the race in 2013, has opted out of racing to be with her family following the death last week of her father, her Visma-Lease a Bike team announced on social media.

Vos started the season with two top-10 finishes at Strade Bianche and Trofeo Alfredo Binda, but has not raced since as her father's failing health caused her to miss Milan-San Remo. Escape Collective offers its sincere sympathies to Vos and her entire family.
