According to some people I've talked to today, his RPI exemption goes to the next eligible guy on the RPI standings. From what I've heard from Jon himself and others, Jonathan Van Hees could get Nolen's exemption. No one seems sure what the official procedure is (whether this happens or another exemption goes up for grabs at Tour Trials), but this is the rumor I heard this afternoon.
