The Mitchelton-Scott and Jumbo-Visma teams have both withdrawn from the Giro d’Italia following positive Covid-19 tests on Monday’s rest day. Four Mitchelton-Scott staff members returned positive results and the team subsequently announced their withdrawal on Tuesday morning.
With the Dutchman Steven Kruijswijk, leader of the Jumbo-Visma team, already out of the race following a positive result, the team did not appear to sign in for Tuesday’s stage 10, and soon announced their own decision to pull the entire team out of the event. The withdrawal of a second full team immediately raised questions over the viability of the whole race, and whether or not it will make it to the scheduled finish in Milan on 25 October.
