After his crash at Liege, it was always touch and go if he'd be fit in time for the Tour. He raced the French Nationals yesterday, which was his first race back, but presumably the team and he have decided it makes sense to fully recover rather than throw him into the Tour and for him to potentially underperform.
During nationals he definitely delivered his job bringing Senechal to the front and what was eventually a winning break. Alone, this is probably not enough for a tour spot, but gives some indication of his form.
