Alberto Contador has commented almost every day on the stage of the Giro d'Italia on Eurosport. The man from Madrid was questioned about the abandonment of Remco Evenepoel due to Covid and hinted with his words that in his opinion the Belgian should have tried to continue at least until Friday, in the first hard stage that he had to face after the rest day:
"As the teams are organized today, is there a possibility of being able to continue in the race while being extremely safe? Having the day off, today was a transition day, things shouldn't happen tomorrow either and the day after. In the end you have 4 days to ahead until the first test on Friday. If that day you burst, you leave because of Covid and that's it. There are a thousand interpretations, but I want to think that he has Covid."
