Cycling fans were surprised to learn that up-and-coming American rider Brandon McNulty will not be participating in this year's Tour de France.

The 25-year-old, who had a breakout performance at the 2023 Giro d'Italia with a podium finish, was widely tipped to make his Tour debut and potentially challenge for a top result.

However, McNulty recently announced that he will be sitting out the world's most prestigious cycling event due to a lingering health issue.

🤕 It has been revealed that the young talent has been quietly dealing with a persistent case of exercise-induced asthma that has flared up in recent months, making it increasingly difficult for him to perform at the highest level. - https://francefocusguide.com/blog/brandon-mcnulty-not-in-tour-de-france/
