What's going on in Abu Dhabi? While the vast majority of teams have finally been allowed to leave the Tour of the Emirates after two days of confinement at the hotel due to suspected cases of coronavirus, three teams remain banned from traveling, which is not without pose problems with regard to the cycling calendar for the coming weeks. Among the unlucky ones, the French team Cofidis, yet it too "cleared" by medical analyzes
Negative tests for the whole team
"The coronavirus tests were negative for the team (runners and coaching), said the team in a statement on Sunday. However, Cofidis remains confined to the hotel since Thursday evening without being able to leave the country and without visibility because of a suspicion of cases on the floor of the establishment where they were staying with other formations. While they should have returned to France this Sunday morning, the local authorities maintain the vagueness about when they can be repatriated.

"Sometimes we have the right, sometimes we don't have the right to go to a restaurant," Rossetto explained to our RMC colleagues on Saturday. It's quite odd and it depends on the orders of the local health ministry, their mood, I don't know. Sometimes we are told to go to our rooms and at other times we are allowed to go to breakfast or to the buffet for lunches and dinners ”.
