Just curious as to why ³Big Maggy² Backstedt is not on the Liquigas squad
this TDF?? Injured, or simply not selected for the team? Missed seeing
him in the peloton during the first week, and even now.

Not selected. I miss seeing him too - one of the characters of the peloton.

He rode the Dauphine, and won his national road championships, but got
dropped from the Leakygas squad for the tour. See his website:
