Australia's Michael Rogers Opts Out Of Tour de France

Michael RogersAs he was suffering from virus and because of his late start to his preparation, Australia's Michael Rogers will miss this year's Tour de France.

Rogers did not ride for the first four months of the year and has decided he will not have the necessary training base to contest the month-long Tour.

Rogers was near the lead in last year's race before a crash forced him out in the eighth stage.
