"Mark Cavendish will not take the start at today’s
Scheldeprijs or at the weekend's Paris-Roubaix due to an overuse
injury," Dimension Data said in a statement.
"Cavendish, who last competed at the Milano-San Remo (classic),
has been hampered by pain felt in his right ankle. The
discomfort was first felt on the penultimate stage of
Tirreno-Adriatico in March and has hindered our sprint ace
since."
Former world champion Cavendish finished Paris-Roubaix, the
biggest classic in the calendar featuring several tough cobbled
sections, only once, taking 30th place last year.
