Di Luca out

The Tour de France has its first non-starter: Italian Danilo Di Luca will not participate in the second stage of the race, taking place on Monday, July 3. The Liquigas-Bianchi pro, who finished last season as the leading rider in the ProTour, is suffering from a prostate infection and has been treated with antibiotics for days. Now, he has to give up the race altogether.
