After his abandon in the third stage of the Giro, Belgian champion Tom Steels (Davitamon-Lotto) is back on the bike again, training gently. Steels was forced out of the Giro because of a urinary tract infection, but that turned into a kidney infection. He is still taking antibiotics for it, and will have to take them for at least another couple of days.
"It's not that refreshing, but I do not want to take even the smallest risk," he told Het Nieuwsblad. If I don't wait long enough, there is a strong chance that I'll be sidelined again in a few weeks."
