Andy Schleck on Wednesday described his withdrawal from this year’s Tour de France due to injuries suffered in last week’s Critérium du Dauphiné race as “the biggest disappointment” of his career.

The 27-year-old has been ruled out after being diagnosed with a fracture in his sacral body (segment S3) and has now set his sights on competing at the London Olympics next month, as long as he is back to full fitness in time.

“Yesterday, I tried going riding for an hour in the rain but I realized straight away that it would be impossible,” the 2010 Tour winner said at a press conference here.

“When I abandoned the Dauphiné (on Saturday), I was in pain, but that was even worse. After that I knew that I could not go to the Tour.

“It is the biggest disappointment in my life. I would rather have finished last on the Tour than not be able to participate at all.
