Illness forces Onley out of Tour de Romandie

Ineos Grenadiers won some and lost some at Tuesday's opening prologue stage of the Tour de Romandie. Dorian Godon took a surprise win in the short individual time trial, but team leader Oscar Onley was well down in 79th place, conceding 35 seconds in an event that was just 3.2 km long (Godon's winning time was 3:35). Now we know why. The Scottish climber dropped out midway through stage one, reportedly suffering from illness, according to his team. It's another setback for Onley, who finished fourth overall in his opening race, the Volta ao Algarve, and then helped his team to a win in the team time trial at Paris-Nice and rose as high as third overall before he had to drop out due to illness. Onley's next race is not until June's Tour Auvergne-Rhone Alpes (formerly the Critérium du Dauphiné).
