	T-Mobile announces Tour roster
		Erik Zabel's ongoing hunt for the green points jersey has often been a distraction from his team's real mission at the Tour de France, T-Mobile manager Mario Kummer said Wednesday as the team announced its line-up for the race.
		As expected, the 34-year-old Zabel was left off of the roster for next month's Tour de France and replaced by 26-year-old all-rounder Stephan Schreck, who is riding in his first Tour.
		Klöden, who has had a very public dispute with Zabel in last year's Tour, said that he thinks it's appropriate to focus on the race for the yellow jersey, adding that Ullrich is the rider for whom all of the team will ride.
