Covid-19 cases keep emerging from within the peloton, with most of the main teams now suffering at least a loss from it. Yesterday both Jumbo - Visma [Sepp Kuss, not with Covid but with fever] and Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team lost a rider, but on the rest day
Mathias Norsgaard of
Movistar Team has also had to abandon.
The 25-year old was on his debut Grand Tour, and had until now served an important role for Enric Mas in the flat stages where the Spaniard has managed to avoid loosing time. Although in the mountains the likes of Carlos Verona and Alejandro Valverde will be the key support for the Spaniard, Norsgaard's absence created more vulnerability within the Spanish team.
