Oh no – Jonathan Brownlee’s bad run of luck continues with the news that he’s just picked up a stress fracture of the leg on a training trip to St. Moritz, Switzerland, ruling him out of the Rio 2016 test event in just over a month’s time.

Back from St Moritz earlier than I hoped. Got a femoral stress fracture. Hope to be back for Chicago! pic.twitter.com/66dRMuJ8iN

Jonny says in an official statement on the Brownlees’ Facebook page: “I’m obviously very disappointed. I raced really well in Auckland and the Gold Coast, and then was unlucky in London, so I was looking forward to a strong second half of the season.
“I need to focus on my rehab in the first instance and then gradually get back into some training. I’m not going to rush it because next year is a big year, but I will be doing what I can to be back for Chicago this year.”
