Burgos-BH loose leader and sprinter Manuel Peñalver with Covid-19 infection
CyclingFriday, 19 August 2022 at 11:49
After loosing Ángel Madrazo yesterday, Burgos-BH have today announced a new Covid-19 positive rider within the Spanish team's bubble as Manuel Peñalver was affected and will not start the Vuelta a Espana.
This comes as a big hit as Peñalver, 23 years of age, was perhaps the team's best option to take a stage win, having impressed this season in the sprints including a second place in a hotly contested sprint at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana earlier this year. Due to the proximity to the start, Burgos hence have also explained there will not be a replacement for Peñalver, and the team will start the race with seven riders.

Burgos-BH will be fighting for stage wins throughout the Vuelta, whilst also chasing TV exposure and possible stints in the classifications jerseys. Their task will be more complicated now, however they have the likes of José Manuel Díaz and Victor Langellotti to boost their chances.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
