Tadej Pogačar reveals that he overcame COVID-19 in the lead-up to the Tour de France

Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar heads out for a route reconnaissance.

Tadej Pogačar is coming into the Tour de France off the back of a recent bout of COVID-19, the Slovenian revealed at a pre-race press conference in Florence on Thursday.

Pogačar hasn't raced since winning the Giro d'Italia at the end of May, while his fellow Tour de France contenders – Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, and Primož Roglič – have all had to battle back from a mass crash suffered at April's Itzulia Basque Country.
