UAE Team Emirates has started off stage 13 with Juan Ayuso testing positive for Covid-19 and now the Spaniard has abandoned the race. Like Pello Bilbao on the previous day, his compatriot has struggled in the early kilometers of the stage and ultimately pulled out of the race.
It was reported by AS this morning that Ayuso tested positive for Covid-19, which coincides with rumours that Covid is currently in a few riders in the peloton, although officially only Michael Morkov had abandoned the race because of it.
The start of the stage proved incredibly fast with a large breakaway causing a few teams including Team Visma | Lease a Bike to go all-out in the chase, to prevent Adam Yates from going up the road, and Ayuso was the rider struggling the most in the back of the peloton.
He was dropped with around 140 kilometers to go on the stage and without support it looked to be a hellish day for the Tour debutant. He is now out of the race. He started the day ninth in the overall classification, after losing time on stage 11 after the team attacked.
