Fabio Aru (Astana) has decided to skip the remaining Ardennes Classic Flèche Wallone and Liege-Bastogne-Liege after experiencing back pain Sunday during the Amstel Gold Race, according to a statement released by his team.
Aru did not finish Sunday's race, won by Enrico Gasparotto (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) in six hours, 18 minutes and three seconds. Aru crashed during the fifth stage of the Pais Vasco earlier this month and was forced to abandon that race as well.
