Armstrong completed the 185km opening stage in the peloton
Lance Armstrong's preparations for the Tour de France have suffered a setback after illness forced him to pull out of the four-day Circuit de la Sarthe race.
The seven-time Tour winner, who was 24th after the first stage, withdrew before Wednesday's 6.8km time trial.
His RadioShack team spokesman Philippe Maertens said: "Lance is not starting because of gastroenteritis."
Armstrong had indicated after stage one that six of his team's riders in France were struggling with a stomach bug.
