Amstel line-up changes

Kopp succumbs to bug

The intestinal infection that is sweeping the peloton has hit Gerolsteiner's David Kopp and knocked him out of Sunday's Amstel Gold Race, the team announced Friday afternoon. His place will be taken by Sven Krauss. Kopp hopes to be well enough to ride the Flèche Wallonne next Wednesday.
