Team Saxo Bank's manager, Bjarne Riis, ousted Schleck and his teammate Stuart O'Grady just before Tuesday's 10th stage. The reason?

Schleck was in 77th place when he was dismissed; he decided to do the race to help older brother Frank, who was in 13th place when Andy was cut.
The Schlecks that they were leaving Team Saxo Bank at the end of this season. A few days later, three-time Tour de France winner, he would be joining Riis's team next season.
