Cyclist Kreuziger pulls out of Swiss race ahead of final stage

Cyclist Roman Kreuziger has withdrawn from Switzerland’s Tour de Romandie race, an event that he won last year. The Czech suffered from stomach problems during the penultimate stage on Saturday, after which he was in 84th place overall. Following discussions with the management of his Liquigas team, Kreuziger decided not to race in Sunday’s final stage. The 23-year-old, who finished ninth in last year’s Tour de France, is already regarded as one of the best Czech road cyclists of all time.
