Heart problems force Rogers out of Dubai Tour
Michael Rogers (Tinkoff) was the only non-starter for the third stage of the Dubai Tour after heart problems forced him to pull out. The Dubai Tour was the first race of the season for Rogers after the discovery of heart abnormalities meant he had to skip the Tour Down under.
Rogers had been hopeful about his participation at the Dubai Tour but tweeted on Friday morning that the heart data from the opening two stages had forced him to call it quits. Rogers spoke to Cyclingnews in Dubai earlier this week, stating his desire to have one more Tour de France.
