UPDATE: As the Tour de France begins in Rotterdam, Tour de France organisers ASO has confirmed that Cervélo TestTeam will start the race a man short after yesterday's withdrawal of Xavier Florencio for infringing team rules. ASO said that had the withdrawal been due to injury, the team would have been allowed to call up another rider but since the rider's exclusion was a voluntary move on the team's part, UCI commissaires have not permitted a replacement to be brought in.
