Oscar Onley has been ruled out of next month's Tour de France with a shoulder injury, his team Netcompany-Ineos have confirmed.

The 23-year-old Scottish rider sustained the injury after crashing on stage six of the Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes in France.

Onley's team first announced he had dislocated his shoulder but further tests revealed he had suffered a "significant shoulder injury".

Last year, Onley finished fourth in the Tour de France to equal the best result by a Scottish rider, previously achieved by Philippa York (then known as Robert Millar) in 1984.

"I'm gutted not to be able to line up for the Tour de France this year," said Onley.

"My focus is now on recovering and getting my shoulder in a good place, but I'm really motivated to try and make something out of this season."

In a statement, Netcompany-Ineos added Onley has begun rehabilitation and is making encouraging progress.

The Tour de France starts in Barcelona on 4 July and ends at the Champs-Elysees in Paris on 26 July.
