Hindley just in time for World Championships “I was a bit nervous, I actually cancelled my original flight, and I had to book flights at a later date"

Jai Hindley, one of the main riders for the Australian cycling team, has finally recovered from Covid and is now ready to represent Australia at the World Championship. He tested positive for the virus a day after finishing 10th overall at the Vuelta a España.
“I feel pretty good, back to normal more or less, so hopefully it’s all good,” Hindley said at a press conference this week. He continued,“I was a bit worried because I got COVID straight after the Vuelta, so I didn’t know if this was going to be possible. Luckily, I had pretty light symptoms, and I was testing negative pretty soon after. Fortunately, I could come.”
Hindley is crucial for supporting Matthews. “I was delayed by about four days, I think. I was just in touch with the Aussie team as soon as I found out that I had a positive test. We were just playing it cautiously, and they were still pretty optimistic that I would be able to race. I just kept in touch with them, and as soon as I tested negative, then, I rebooked a flight.”
While it was a tense situation for the Australian rider everything turned out to be well in the end. “I was a bit nervous, I actually cancelled my original flight, and I had to book flights at a later date so that I could fly when I was negative. I was sweating there for a little bit, but I’m happy to be here that’s for sure,” concluded Hindley.
