Something is sweeping through the Gerolsteiner team, and it's not something that is very welcome. "The flu is going around," says Ronny Scholz. "Besides me, three other riders have now caught it. Unfortunately I now have to take antibiotics. No athlete wants to do that because it works negatively on your performance, gives you heavy legs. Plus my tonsils are swollen. It's very difficult to breathe, especially when I'm riding fast." (www.ronnyscholz.de)
One of the other riders who is coming down with something is apparently Fabian Wegmann. The night from Sunday to Monday "I didn't feel well at all. I could hardly sleep and felt feverish. More than once I thought about whether it was time to go home? I finally slept a little just before it was time to get up."
