Arnaud De Lie has never 'felt so bad'

Recovering from gasteroenteritis made for a rough start to the Giro d'Italia for Arnaud De Lie (Intermarché-Lotto), who made it through stage 3 but has yet to really contest any of the stages so far in the race.

"I don't think I've ever felt so bad," he said, as Het Nieuwsblad reports.

De Lie is hoping to recover in time for the sprint opportunities ahead, with a clear one coming on Thursday's stage 6. [Het Nieuwsblad]
