Another Team Out of the Tour
The Dutch TVM team, the subject of the police interest that caused the protest a few days ago, has succumbed to the stress and speculation they have been suffering and did not start today‚s stage - the race is now down to 14 teams and 95 riders.
Today‚s 242 kilometres stage is the second longest of the Tour, and a group of 13 riders (representing 5 teams) has a huge gap of nearly 16 minutes on the field. However, the top rider in the break is almost an hour down on race leader Pantani, so no worries there. Among the riders in the break - Stuart O‚Grady, Frankie Andreu and Jacky Durand.
