8th report from US

Fabio Biasiolo has withdrawn from the race at 9.30 eastern time this morning. Official sources say that he had problems with water retention and exhaustion. We had also heard that he had some problems with his team and that the team of Fredi Virag, Slovene athlete who has withdrawn earlier in the race, had to help him. But let me remind you the latter is unofficial news. We will keep you posted.
On a happy note, Marko is having a great day. His pace is excellent and he has already moved to 4th place.
