Ouch.

Can't see him there if they've got a team next season - unless he's GC for the Vuelta.

Apparently Fuglsang was asked not to attend, along with Bennati and about 10 others. What's happened there then?

I think it's a case of Chinese whispers on Twitter. This, which I take to be a sarcastic tweet, was re-tweeted by Matt Rendell.

Reno ‏@renovandael
Wating for a press release stating that, without reason given, Fuglsang, Gerdemann, Bennati and 10 others, requested not to be at Tour.
Retweeted by Matt Rendell

People these days are way too quick to repeat stuff without checking the legitimacy.

And talking of tweets, I'm enjoying Tweeter Sagan.

Tweeter Sagan ‏@TweeterSagan
Why Mr Bruyneel pick team for Saga holiday, not Sagan massacre? #dinosaurs #TDF12 #SummerOfSagan

if you believe the sarky tweeting, fulsgang hasn't been picked by Alain Gallopin but Gallopin Jr has made the cut... hence why Jacob is off

My reading of that (sarcastic?) tweet was that those riders all requested the team that they not be picked. As for its verity...???

If you're going to use twitter you need to have your bullsh*t detector turned up to max.

I like the chat, but we need to remember that many of the twitter "Campionissimo" are just fans like us (or housewives waiting to pick their kids up from swimming).

Matt Rendell re-tweeted it, I demmed him to be a reputable(ish) source.

He is reputable. But he was also joking.

Neither.

It was a reference to the people who've asked to not be selected for the US olympic team
