De Kort heads to the beach instead of the Tour de France
The Giant-Alpecin team confirmed that Tom Dumoulin, Warren Barguil and John Degenkolb will lead the German-registered team at the Tour de France, and selected a number of climbers to back them in the nine-rider squad. However that meant that several domestiques and especially sprint-train riders were not selected, sparking some disappointed amongst those to miss out.
Giant-Alpecin announced a 14-rider long list in late may but Nikias Arndt, Koen De Kort, Johannes Fröhlinger, Tobias Ludvigsson, Ramon Sinkeldam and Zico Waeytens all missed out on final selection revealed today.
De Kort showed his disappointment with a caustic tweet: “Guess I'll use this great shape to walk to the beach on holiday....”

He quickly responded positively to messages of support and added that he will ride the Tour of Poland and look for new goals and objectives in the final part of the 2016 season.
