British star to miss Tour de France after suffering dislocated shoulder in crash

  • British cyclist Oscar Onley has been officially ruled out of this summer's Tour de France due to a significant shoulder injury sustained in a recent crash.
  • The 23-year-old Scot suffered the injury two weeks ago during the Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, where he crashed over a roadside barrier, dislocating his shoulder and sustaining a knee injury.
  • Onley's absence is a considerable setback for his team, Netcompany-Ineos, especially after his impressive fourth-place finish at last year's Tour de France.
  • This injury adds to a challenging season for Onley, who has previously faced illness, including stomach bugs, which forced him to withdraw from other races like Paris-Nice and the Tour de Romandie.
  • Despite his disappointment, Onley stated his focus is now on recovery and rehabilitation, expressing motivation to make the most of the remainder of the season.
