GIRO D’ITALIA: Overall contender Simon Yates withdrew after testing positive for the coronavirus, his Mitchelton-Scott team announced before Saturday’s eighth stage.
The 28-year-old British rider “developed very mild symptoms” after Friday’s stage, the team said. An immediate rapid test showed a positive result, which was confirmed in a second test.
Yates “was isolated in his single room during the process and is being safely transported by organized ambulance for a period of quarantine where the team can offer its best possible care. His symptoms remain very mild,” the team added.
Yates won the Tirreno-Adriatico warmup race last month. He was in 21st place overall, 3 minutes, 52 seconds behind race leader Joao Almeida.
Almeida held onto the pink jersey after Saturday’s stage, which was won by British rider Alex Dowsett.
Dowsett attacked from a six-man breakaway group 11 miles from the end of a 124-mile route from Giovinazzo to Vieste.
