Skil-Shimano and Vacansoleil still don't know whether they will receive wild-card invitations to the Tour de France. The Tour, which starts in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on July 3, is scheduled to announce the final team line-up sometime this month, but while Tour director Christian Prudhomme visited the Dutch city this week, he still did not make any announcement.
