Cristian Rodriguez to Miss This Year's Tour de France
Almerian cyclist Cristian Rodriguez, 31, was the best-classified Spaniard in the last Tour de France. His absence from this year's Grande Boucle is surprising, especially after a strong eighth-place finish at the Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes.
Rodriguez, who is set to leave Astana, is a hot commodity on the market with several teams interested. While he will miss the Tour, he is expected to feature in La Vuelta, a race well-suited to his endurance capabilities.
