According to Belgian Teletekst, Leif Hoste could be the rider replacing injured Viatcheslav Ekimov in the upcoming Tour de France. The Belgian is included in the pre-selection of 11 possible Tour-riders for Discovery Channel. The time trial specialist could therefore be included in the final roster. The other pre-selected riders are: Benjamin Noval, José Azevedo, Chechu Rubiera, Triki Beltran, Paolo Savoldelli, Yaroslav Popovych, George Hincapie, Pavel Padrnos, and Benoît Joachim. It is assumed that Lance Armstrong will be part of the line up.
