Dan Martin out of Tour due to knee injury..his uncle Stephen Roche has said that he's had a problem for a while and the team don't want to take a chance and risk a) damaging it further, and b) losing a ride early on. Maaskant is in instead.

that's a shame

Such a shame, he must be gutted!

I think it's got to be a real 'Knee Injury', and not a reaction to Dekker, Dynepo test et al, surely not a cover story

Wasn't Dekker 'let go' by Rabobank some time ago over blood irregularities.

Could his 'dramatic' loss of form since then be down to the fact that he was no longer taking EPO. The whole thing about a doped donkey...etc etc :rolleyes:
