Seen a few tweets calling this 'BS', but I can't see how. No way a team would allow infected riders/staff to continue to be around the rest of the team1

Isn't that what AG2R did at the start? "Yeah, he's tested positive for Covid but it isn't Covid Covid"poweredbyidris said:Seen a few tweets calling this 'BS', but I can't see how. No way a team would allow infected riders/staff to continue to be around the rest of the team
Given how that has played out I can certainly see other teams following suit0 -
In other news, Pog has just donated a swanky Covid testing machine to the UCI2

Wasn't it if test positive on the rapid antigen then 2nd PCR test, then if viral load low = not contagious = stay in the race?Pross said:

They said this on TCP yesterday. G Martin was contagious so was removed, Bouchard was symptomatic so he was too. Jungels didn't have a high viral load so he stayed inorraloon said:

It's going to be fun with the double whammy of having Covid spreading through the peloton and the forecast heatwave about to hit the race.
Talk of shortening some of the stages. Going to be difficult with these Alpine stages as the longest one is only 150Km.

I can't imagine wanting to ride the tour when you have covid.0

I can't imagine wanting to ride with a broken collar bone or stomach bug but every year riders do. If the decision is out of the hands of the race organisation you can pretty much guarantee the teams would leave them in as long as possible.0

Same again.

Riding with a broken collarbone or a dodgy tummy is unlikely to lead to long term health problems, though.

It'd be interesting to know what precautions teams are taking. Having the team on a bus with other staff, communal meals, sharing bedrooms etc seems fairly risky and presumably teams aren't just carrying on as normal. If you really want to avoid covid you pretty much can by avoiding extended indoor contact and careful hand hygiene.
Looking to the future you'd think the way forward is to treat covid as a normal illness and leave the decision in the hands of the team. The problem might be the more they go back to normal the more they are vulnerable to an outbreak taking out most of the riders. It doesn't really matter if they allowed to carry on racing if they physically can't.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -
The strange case of Rafa Majka has made the R5 Sports news. Geraint said Ineos pulled over rather than sit on his wheel, and that Jumbo did the same. Also no UAE riders would ride on his wheel either!0

Also worth saying that the chances of open air transmission of covid are very small indeed0
