Pellizzari and Hindley still recovering from ailments

Giulio Pellizzari and Jai Hindley made it through stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia on Wednesday without losing time as both riders try to recover from what are apparently separate ailments.

"I suffered a lot," Pellizzari said after the hilly stage that was won by Jhonatan Narváez, as Cyclingnews reports.

Pellizzari has dealt with a stomach bug while Hindley has been battling some other illness, and both riders have time to make up if they want to contend for the general classification in the second half of the race.

"I didn't have the stomach problem, I had something else. I'm not 100%. I looked how I felt after the time trial," Hindley said.

"The day before the rest day I wasn't feeling so healthy. Fortunately I could recover a little on the rest day. [Cyclingnews]
