T-Mobile's other disaster-plagued rider, Andreas Klöden, is also hopeful that he will be in good shape for the Tour. "Since last Thursday I have been able to ride on the road again," he said of his ongoing recovery from a training crash and shoulder operation.
"The last few weeks were full of training on the roller and physical therapy. I still have some pain, but I can ride for three to four hours a day," said Klöden.
