Roche injury updates??

Well Lads,

I see Roche didn't complete the Tour of Romandie and is listed as pulling out due to knee injury? Anyone know any more details?

Torn hamstring

Nicolas Roche’s preparation for this year’s Tour de France is in doubt following the news yesterday that he has torn a hamstring, writes Shane Stokes.
The problem flared up after Friday’s time trial stage of the Tour of Romandie and Roche withdrew from the event. He underwent a MRI in Nice yesterday and was told to take at least a fortnight off the bike.
The news will interfere with his build-up to the Dauphiné Libéré, a selection race for his Ag2r la Mondiale team for the Tour de France.
“After a MRI scan I have been advised by my doctor that I have a torn muscle and will need to take a minimum of two weeks off the bike, possibly three,” the 25-year-old said yesterday afternoon. “They will do another scan in two weeks to see how the injury is healing, and I am hoping to be allowed back on the bike then.”
He has been one of the team’s best performers this season.

Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that the slowness of Owen Hargreaves's 16-month recovery from tendinitis is now a serious concern but is hopeful the midfielder can return for the climax of the Premier League season.

Let me clarify: my comment was that Roche's injury did not sound like tendonitis.

Fourth in his comeback race today. Pretty impressive after a month out, and hopefully encouraging for the rest of the season.

Wonder if he is going to defend his national champs in Sligo at the end of the month??
