Dries Devenyns (31) will not participate in the Flèche Wallonne for IAM Cycling on Wenesday. 

The rider for the Swiss professional cycling team is suffering from back pain that will prevent him from performing to the best of his abilities, and as a result he will not take the start of the race.  The Belgian rider will be replaced on this occasion by Patrick Schelling. Devenyns already missed the Amstel Gold Race due to his health issues. 

IAM will be led by Mathias Frank, Jarlinson Pantano and Sebastien Reichenbach in the Belgian classic.
