Aitor sick

Aitor Galdos, who was supposed to lead Euskaltel in the Tour de Suisse in search of good stage results, had to abandon yesterday because of sickness. Aitor vomited several times leading up to yesterday`s stage, and even though he did his best to complete the stage, he had no chance, and threw in the towel. Aitor was also suffering from fever and had to ride on an empty stomach, as all the food he ate came straight back out again. As Jon Odriozola pointed out, Euskaltel`s sports director in Switzerland, it was a "pity" that he had to abandon, as he was looking to impress the chiefs enough to secure a Tour de France berth.
