I know I shouldn't laugh at this, but it did make me chuckle: there's a report out in Cycling News that says:
"Luxembourg is struggling to field a team for the Elite men's road race, with Fränk Schleck (Trek Factory Racing) confirming that he will not ride.
Bob Jungels has pulled out the time trial and road race due to a saddle sore, while Andy Schleck is still recovering from his operation after rupturing his knee ligaments on the London stage of the Tour de France.
Luxembourg national coach Bernhard Baldinger needs to find two riders to complete the three-rider squad with Ben Gastauer."
If they need to find two more riders to complete the minimum three-rider squad, then they only have one rider don't they... that's not so much "struggling to field a team" as "not having a team!"
To be fair, it's a very small country, but what happened to Didier? And the whole of the Leopard Trek feeder team?
