MADRID (Reuters) - Jose Rojas was stripped of the lead in the Tour of Catalonia on Tuesday after he was penalised for giving an illegal push to his Movistar team mates during their winning team time trial ride.

After Movistar had won the second stage by just two seconds from BMC, Rojas had little time to celebrate earning the leader's jersey in the one-week race before being hit with a three-minute penalty from race judges.
