David Millar withdrawn from 2014 Tour de France by Garmin-Sharp | Sport | theguardian.com

There'll only be 3 Brits at the start line in Yorkshire. Nic Roche is the only Irishman.

No one gets a Tour spot for sentiment's sake anymore.

I fear even Jens wouldn't have gotten one, except that Trek's talent pool is so shallow that even Andy S got a spot.

Garmin reveals focused Tour roster, leaves off Millar - VeloNews.com

So their roster will include:

Andrew Talansky, Tom-Jelte Slagter, Sebastian Langeveld, Johan Vansummeren, Janier Acevedo, Ramunas Navardauskas, and Jack Bauer. Also TDF rookies Ben King and Alex Howes.

And they will be focusing on the GC this year.
