Matthias Brändle (25) will not take part in the Critérium du Dauphiné scheduled from June 7th to the 14th for the IAM Cycling team as originally planned.  The rider from the Swiss professional team has not yet fully recovered from the gastroenteritis which had already forced him to abandon the last stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour while in the lead on Sunday. 

If all goes well, the former world hour record holder should be fit enough to start the Tour of Switzerland (scheduled for the 13th to the 21st of June).  Brändle will be replaced at the Dauphiné by Vicente Reynes.
