At least one team has been forced to change their Giro d'Italia lineup late after riders fell ill after racing in Belgium last weekend, possibly because of manure.
Multiple riders who competed in the Famenne Ardenne Classic on Sunday, including a number expected to start the Giro, have been afflicted by a sudden illness that’s suspected to have been caused by bacteria from cow pats on the Belgian roads flicking up onto the drinking bottles of the riders.
