FLORENCE, Italy (AP) — Tao Geoghegan Hart will miss the Tour de France because of a fractured rib sustained during the Criterium du Dauphine and a bout with COVID-19 that he contracted after the race, the U.S.-based Lidl-Trek team said Friday. The former winner of the Giro d’Italia was hit from behind during the Dauphine and involved in a massive crash during the fifth stage, which left him with injured ribs. Trek-Lidl is expected to turn to former world champion Mads Pedersen to lead its squad during the Tour de France, which starts June 29 in Florence, Italy.
