168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Clarke has tested positive for COVID-19 in pre-168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour Down Under team testing but hopes to recove🐬r in time to ride th﷽e Australian stage race which begins next Tuesday.
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Israel-Premier Tech team said that Clarke was “currently asympꦍtomatic” and that he would remain at home in Victoria. He will skip Saturday evening’s warm-up criterium and only join his Israel-Premier Tech teammates in Adelaide for the Tour Down Under “once he produces a negative test.”
Current Australian COVID-19 rules do not include an obligatory Isolation period and so Clarke could travel to 🌜Adelaide and compete in🤡 the Tour Down Under if he tests negative or has a low viral load before Tuesday evening’s opening prologue time trial.

Cyclingnews understands that the new rule♊s are expected to remove the obligatory pre-race testing for teams but protocols for managing COVID-19 cases during races and other advice is likely to remain.

He finished third at the Australian national championships last Sunday behind solo winner Luke Plappꦉ (Ineos Grenadiers) and Michael Matthews (Jayco-Aula), showing some early-season form.
The 36-year-old Australian was handed a lifeline by Israel-Premier Tech in January 2022 after he was left without a contract following the demise of the Qhubeꦦka-NextHash team.&nb🧸sp;
