The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bahrain Victorious team have pulled out of this Sunday’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bretagne Classic WorldTour race in north-west France after a COVID-19 case e𝄹merged in the team.

A number of st😼aff members were consid🌺ered close contacts and the team withdrew from the race in agreement with the race organiser.

💟“Following the team’s medical protocols, the dec✱ision was made following a positive Covid-19 result," the team said in a statement. 

"While the positive case could be subꦗstituted, close contact with other staff makes creat﷽ing a safe ‘race bubble’ difficult."

Bahrain Victorious did ꦡnot reveal which member of their team tested positive, nor the close contacts invol♈ved.

Likeꦉ most WorldTour teams, Bahrain Victorious are currently running a double or triple race programme, with squads in action at the Vuelta a España and elsewhere in Europe.

COVID-19 cases are increasing across Europe 🍌but few restrictions remain in place aft🅺er large parts of the population were vaccinated.

A number of teams have been struck by COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic but🌼 the UCI’s Medical Protocol has limited the impact of the virus on the sport, with much of the calendar going ahead in 2021.

Riders and teams are protected in a so-called ‘Race Bubble’ and undergo obligatory COVID-19 tests before travelling to races and on rest days of Grand Tours. Teams have also created their own COVID-19 protocols, with s🐠taff wearing masks, food served in private rooms, and team vehicles carefully s🌌anitised.

Several riders tested positive during races in the rescheduled 2020𝄹 season but there have been fe🤪wer cases this season. Some riders and staff have been vaccinated but others are yet to do so.

Under the UCI's COVID-🍒19 protocol, teams are not penalised if they are unable to compete due to cases in the team.
