Repost from USA Today | May 17, 2013

Two defending champs:   Sir Bradley Wiggins (UK) for Tour de France and Ryder Hesjedal (Can) for Giro both withdrew (DNF) from Giro de Italia because of health conditions.  Wiggins had chest problems, and Ryder was said to have "deteriorating health conditions"

They both withdrew just before the 13th leg - the longest though mostly flat course.

The race ends on May 26, 2013
