Bennett sidelined with glandular fever

George Bennett has been forced to take some enforced rest after being diagnosed with glandular fever. Bennett will have to sit out most of the Southern Hemisphere summer, meaning that he’s likely to miss the New Zealand national championships and the Tour Down Under in January.

Bennett has already had a long off-season, ending his year following the Vuelta a Espana in September.

“Precautionary rest after glandular fever (aka the kissing disease) a month or two ago. My summer might be fucked but at least I'm getting some,” the LottoNL-Jumbo rider wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.

Bennett enjoyed a solid 2016 campaign, which led to him extending his tenure at LottoNL-Jumbo for another two years. Bennett’s season included riders at the Tour de France, the Olympic Games in Rio and the Vuelta, where he finished 10th overall.
