CyclingNews reported that Christian Foster of the Jittery Joes-Kalahari Cycling Team abandoned yesterday due to dehydration. According to them:
We talked to team director Micah Rice, who said Christian only drank about five bottled during the race yesterday, whilst the rest of the team drank at least ten. Christian is being discharged from hospital today and of course, did not start the race.
It’s been hot here in Georgia, with temperatures in the mid-80s.
