Robert Gesink will not start the Tour of Zeeland Seaports this weekend. The Dutch Team LottoNL-Jumbo rider will miss the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya as well.

Gesink has obtained a minor knee injury while training in the build-up to his season, which starts later after a turbulent winter. 

He will continue his training in Girona and hopes to be fit in time for the Vuelta al País Vasco and the classic races.
