> Tim Wellens (26) is once again struggling with a heat allergy during this Tour de France. "He develops a rash when it gets too hot. Tim has experienced this frequently during this Tour," explains coach Paul Van Den Bosch. "We had hoped that training in Monaco, among other things, would help his body adapt, but that didn't work out. There are factors at play that are beyond Tim's control."

Is it really beyond Wellens' control? Is there truly no solution? "In principle, there is a solution. It would be possible to use a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption)—a certificate allowing for cortisone treatment. An exception could be requested. Tim is aware of that, and he decided himself not to make use of it. He is a rider who stands for clean sport. He wants to perform at his best without a TUE. He chooses not to use such an exception, even if it means performing in the Tour with it. That is a magnificent attitude on Tim's part."
I wonder if Tim is still doing it without a TUE
