CESENA (ITALPRESS) – Mockery for Remco Evenepoel. The Belgian, back in the pink jersey this afternoon after his success in the time trial that ended in Cesena, is forced to say goodbye to the Giro d’Italia due to Covid-19. Evenepoel tested positive after carrying out a routine test before the first rest day of the pink race.
“I’m really sorry to have to leave the Giro. As part of team protocol, I had a routine test, which unfortunately came back positive. My experience here was really special and I was looking forward to racing in the next two weeks. I can’t thank the staff enough and my team mates who sacrificed so much in preparation for the Giro. I will be rooting for them over the next couple of weeks,” Evenepoel said.
Geraint Thomas is now the new leader of the general classification of the pink race.
