Because he rode the Giro and wasn't intending to ride the Tour, so they'd promised leadership to Nibali and Kreuziger. These two are talented up and coming riders who'll be in contention for the white jersey and will probably make the top ten.
Pellizotti is riding with a view to winning stages, so it'll be interesting to see how he performs. I'd imagine he'll need to lose time early in the race to be given any leeway later.
