Platoon on alert for the consequences of the bursting of the anti Covid-19 bubble produced last week by the positive of

Simon Yates

.

The Giro d'Italia teams are tense awaiting the results of the controls carried out after Sunday's stage, which ended in Roccaraso, and this Monday, during the rest day, prior to Tuesday's stage, starting in Lanciano and finishing in Tortoreto .

If a cyclist is positive, he must abandon the race.

Contrary to what happened in the Tour de France, teams will not be sent off if there are two positive cases of riders, technicians or assistants during a week.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) and the management of the Giro d'Italia established a series of rules (safety distance, use of masks, reserved hotel areas, minimal contact with the public and the press ...) during the race to preserve

isolation of the runners

.

In the event that a positive appears, a counter-analysis is performed immediately afterwards.

The main method used by the

Corsa Rosa

is antigen detection, which provides information within 10 minutes.

At noon on Monday, the teams did not know if there would be a joint notification from the UCI and the Giro in case there was a cyclist infected.

Meanwhile, the platoon maintains its routines.

On the rest day, the cyclists trained in the morning in the vicinity of Lanciano, in the central area of ​​the country.

In that town a very broken stage will start on Tuesday in which the leader,

Joao Almeida

, who exhibited weaknesses in the final stretch of Sunday's ascent to Roccaraso, will have to be very attentive to the attacks of his rivals.

The Portuguese team Deceuninck only beats the German

Wilco Kelderman

(Sunweb)

by 30 seconds

and the Spanish

Pello Bilbao

(Bahrain) by

39

seconds

.

The Italian

Vincenzo Nibali

(Trek), the Danish

Jakob Fuglsang

(Astana) and the Dutch

Steven Kruijswijk

(Jumbo) will also attempt the assault on the pink jersey.
