Christophe Mengin (Francaise des Jeux) will not start the eighth stage in Pforzheim on Saturday. The French rider, who spectacularly crashed at the end of Stage 6, has a broken ethmoid under his left eye. Despite this, he did manage to finish stage 7, albeit 1'45 behind the peloton. That reduces the Tour field to 184 riders.
