[Update] Kangert knijpt dan toch in de remmen: 'Gezondheid en veiligheid staan voorop'

Tanel Kangert:
"I can't leave the race without trying one more time. I want to start today. I feel a small improvement after this night and the medic staff and teams management allowed me to start stage 12. I don't expect too much from myself, but I have to try".#Giro101

Thus, because of a small improvement over the last night, Tanel Kangert wants to try to start today's stage 12. Since he is a little bit better today, Astana Pro Team decided to allow the rider to continue @giroditalia #Giro101 #AstanaProTeam

Tanel Kangert will go home today and in the next days will do all checkings with the specialist. During the last 5 days Tanel has suffered from gastro-intestinal problems. He did the yesterday's stage, but the health and safety of the rider is on first place. #Giro101
