Italy's Fabio Aru dropped out
of the Giro d'Italia at the foot of the first climb on the 19th
and third-last stage Friday.
Aru, who fancied his chances before the grand tour started,
was 45'44'' behind leader Simon Yates of Britain.
The Sardinian climber lost a lot of time on mountain stages
recently.
