Voeckler's Tour de France start not in danger

Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) should be able to ride the Tour de France as planned, despite having abandoned during the Critérium du Dauphiné's last stage due to knee pain. Voeckler threw in the towel after 28km of the undulating stage seven from Morzine to Chatel. The two-time French national champion had been part of Saturday's main break on the queen stage to Morzine.
