Breschel out of Amstel, looking towards Tour

Matti Breschel has been ruled out of this weekend's Amstel Gold Race due to tendonitis in his knee. The problem flared up at the Scheldeprijs race last Wednesday and forced him abandon Paris-Roubaix on Sunday. The Danish national Champion has now turned his attention towards recovering it time to make the Saxo Bank roster for the Tour de France.
