Giulio Ciccone out of Giro d’Italia as COVID-19 cases in the peloton begin to mount up Trek-Segafredo rider will miss race, which starts in his home region, after positive coronavirus test cycling
, who is due to lead French UCI WorldTour team Arkéa-Samsic at the Giro d’Italia, abandoned Liege-Bastogne-Liege and subsequently tested positive for COVID-19, putting his participation in the Italian race in doubt.
Now, it is up to teams as to whether or not they test riders, with that haphazard approach, combined with the recent positive tests, likely to stoke fears that coronavirus is once again present in the peloton. However, Trek-Segafredo and Ciccone jointly agreed that it was best he withdraw giving his inability to train as well as his ongoing symptoms and continued positive tests for the coronavirus.
“I would have started from home, from my Abruzzo; an historic event, even unique. Everything was perfect and then … I mean, it feels absurd. I have to swallow a bitter pill and the thought of what I could have done in this Giro will be in my mind for a long time.
