Bogaert had already dropped this decision before the start of the cyclocross season when he stated that Van Aert and Van der Poel were better than Pidcock in cyclocross because the British rider was maintaining the same weight and physique as for a Grand Tour like the Tour.
Whether this decision to focus on the road will affect his mountain bike season more drastically remains to be confirmed.
