Maybe their internal testing found an abnormal value and wanted to play it safe? Get him out before the "vampires" get him
On the other hand I do find the illness thing more believable since someone can quite easily verify this (I think).

The peloton is starting the climb of Mortirolo. Let us hope that something interesting happens during the climb.

I find it very strange that Kloden would pull out today. At least they should have kept him in the race today and then not have him race the TT tomorrow.

He looked fine yesterday, relatively speaking.

I think the internal testing pointed to a troublesome result.

Nibali dropped from maglia rosa group.

LPR at the front.

Ok, first attack from Simoni. Contadoper and others are able to respond this time.

Leipheimer is sliding backwards, Contador is alone. Yet some how LPR still has two people on the front, those guys and CSF make me suspicious.

Simoni attacks, Ricco follows but Contador is still there. Nice to see the fireworks are coming at the bottom of the climb!

Rodriguez and Sella have a small gap now over the others.

Ricco looks very smooth. Impressive. Contador is countering well so far.

Di Luca is getting dropped.

Has Di Luca come back, or is he dropped for good?

Simoni attacks again, but looks like everybody is able to respond.
