Reynes hospitalized

Caisse d'Epargne's Vicente Reynes was forced to pull out of the Paris-Nice prior to the second stage after suffering a nephritic colic, an acute kidney pain. The 25 year-old was transported to the Châteauroux hospital prior to the second stage's start, where he underwent testing.

While the tests confirmed the colic there were no other complications, which allowed the Spaniard to re-join his teammates at the hotel last night.
