Should there be positive results, the UCI medical director will contact the team doctor to assess the ‘following steps’, the email said. The rules set by organizers Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO)and French health authorities state that should two members of a team, rider or staff, test positive for coronavirus, the whole outfit would be excluded from the race. The UCI, who urged the teams not to communicate the results, and ASO, will issue a statement before the start of the stage in L’Ile d’Oleron. The stage is due to start at 1130 GMT.
France is facing a resurgence of coronavirus cases with almost 25,000 people testing positive in the last three days. Four staff members of the Lotto Soudal team left the Tour de France two days prior to the start after two of them had tested positive for COVID-19.
