The coronavirus pandemic first infiltrated professional cycling in🐲 February when several riders and staff at the UAE Tour tested positive for the virus. Fernando Gaviria and Max Richeze (UAE Team Emirates) were among those who were quarantined until their systems cleared the virus.
Strict me♎asures of closing down sporting events including pro cycl🌃ing, schools, restaurants, bars and theaters and enforcing stay-at-home laws across Europe got the spread of the virus under enough control for the road season to resume in July.
However, with the rཧeopening of ma🐈ny countries and the international travel resuming, the virus case numbers have risen dramatically over the past month.
While the Tour de France finished with only race director Christian Prudhomme con🧔tracting the virus.
One rider fromꦓ Astana fell ill with COVID-19 after 🍸racing at the UCI Road World Championships in Imola, leading to the team having to pull two of its riders from the Giro d'Italia.
The Giro d'Italia had its first case o✤n Saturday when Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) began showing symptom🌟s and tested positive for COVID-19.
Rising case counts in Northern France and the Netherlands led to the cancellation of Paris-R✨oubaix and the Amstel﷽ Gold Race, which was due to take place today.
Giro d'Italia director Mauro Vegni expressed concerns about his race, saying "above all, the situation worries me because it means that the level o💯f contagion is rising, and we still havꦚe two weeks of the Giro to go."
