Covid -19 impacted Tour de Suisse and Tour of Slovenia earlier this week , forcing teams and riders to withdraw from the race and now the Women's Tour de Suisse is facing COVID-19 issues.
"Sadly, Andy Schleck CP NVST Immo Losch will not start stage 3 at the Tour de Suisse due to a positive Covid-19 test this morning," announced the team via social media on Monday before stage 3 of the race.
"The team conducted rapid antigenic tests on all riders and staff this morning after an isolated case of symptoms for one of the staff. The staff member returned positive. As a precautionary measure, on the advice of our management and in consultation with the Tour management the team will withdraw from the race," the team said in a press release. Kristen Faulkner has set into the third stage with the race lead, as the peloton rides into Chur today for a hilly affair.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
