Cycling: Tour Begins With No No1
The Tour de France will start without a No1 rider due to the ongoing issue of Floyd Landis's doping test.
The Tour de France will start in central London on Saturday with, for the first time, no rider wearing No1 on his back. This is because the 2006 winner has yet to be decided after Floyd Landis's positive test for testosterone and, as the race director, Jean-François Pescheux, explained: "We have insisted upon it, to make the point, at least symbolically."
