Juan Antonio Flecha has abandoned the Vuelta a Espana on stage seven, about 60 kilometres from the finish in Orihuela.
The Sky rider is reported to have been affected by the same mystery illness that caused two other Sky riders, Ben Swift and John-Lee Augustyn, to quit on stage two.
Flecha was not one of the six Sky riders first affected by the illness, but started feeling rough just before stage six.
