Michael Woods abandons Tour de France on final day with Covid-19
CyclingSunday, 24 July 2022 at 12:15
Israel - Premier Tech have suffered another casualty at the Tour de France as Michael Woods tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the final day of racing and won't get to race on the streets of Paris.
Woods didn't achieve the form he had hoped for during the race, specially after his win at La Route d'Occitanie, however he rode to a third place in Foix as teammate Hugo Houle took the triumph on a day where the team had the power and numerical superiority.
Although competitively speaking Woods will not be missing out on an opportunity for the Tour, his participation at next week's Clásica San Sebastián where he would be a favourite is now at risk, in a period where the Israeli team need every point it can get.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
