Haussler out of Paris-Tours

Team Gerolsteiner was hoping that Heinrich Haussler could continue his recent success in Sunday's Paris-Tours Pro Tour race, but the youngster is going to spend the day sick in bed rather than on his bike. A case of the flu has laid him low and cancelled his plans.

Haussler missed much of the season because of mononucleosis, but still managed to bring in five victories, including two stages of the Circuit Franco-Belge.
