Poole will miss the Vuelta due to Epstein-Barr
Max Poole had hoped to continue his 2025 campaign at the Vuelta a España, but Picnic-PostNL has announced that the up-and-coming Brit will miss the race after he was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr after abandoning the recent Tour of Poland.
"It’s been difficult few weeks trying to work out what the situation was and I appreciate the support the team has given me during this period," Poole said. "I’m pretty relieved to now understand the root of the problem as it means that I can start to focus on recovery and getting my health back on track. I’m really disappointed to miss the team at the Vuelta, and wish them the best of luck there."
