After the rest day, a 219-kilometer stage with four categorized climbs, including the summit finish, is a big test. Yesterday’s stage proved crucial for Britain’s Sky: on the very first climb Spain’s Mikel Landa, last year’s Giro podium finisher and a clear favorite this year, was dropped. After the time trial he had been hopeful, but according to the team doctor, from the morning he suffered a sharp deterioration in health, diagnosed as viral gastroenteritis, with severe abdominal pain. Despite this the team decided to start him, but his condition kept getting worse, and he left the race at kilometer 66 of the stage. Landa is a big loss for all cycling connoisseurs; his presence is the basis for serious intrigue in any big race. As the team doctor said, of course everything will be done to get Mikel back racing in the near future. This year’s Giro, though, is unfortunately over for him.<\/p>\n
