Arnaud De Lie has withdrawn from both Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec 2026 and Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal 2026, still not recovered from the illness that ended his Renewi Tour 2026. He won Québec in 2023 — his first WorldTour victory — and Canada was shaping up as a natural place to close out his Lotto-Intermarché chapter. Instead, one of his final chances to leave on a high evaporates.
De Lie leaves Lotto-Intermarché at the end of 2026 for Tudor Pro Cycling after six years and 35 wins with the Belgian team. This season has been defined by setbacks rather than victories, with early exits from the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France preceding this latest illness. The Québec course that made him a WorldTour winner in 2023 won't get a rematch before he moves on.
