THE first Chinese rider to enter the Giro d'Italia, Ji Cheng, has withdrawn before the start of the sixth stage due to a fever.
The 25-year-old Argos-Shimano rider helped teammate John Degenkolb win Wednesday's fifth stage. Ji said: "I just got sick during the night, and it is really hard to leave this beautiful race already. It was my goal to support John to a stage win and to finish this race. So I am very disappointed that I can't reach the second part of my goal." Last year, Ji was the first Chinese to finish the Spanish Vuelta, placing 175th.
