The steady drip of recent COVID-19 cases in the peloton continued on Friday with Warren Barguil (Arkéa-Samsic) the latest rider to return a positive test, throwing his imminent Giro d’Italia participation in doubt.
Two cases emerged at Liège-Bastogne-Liège for Jumbo-Visma, forcing the Dutch squad to ground support riders Sam Oomen and Tosh van der Sande at the last minute from their roster for La Doyenne.
