Giro d'Italia: EF Pro wants to discuss whether to press on - Sports News - Sportstar
The HinduThe EF Pro cycling team says it wants to discuss with organisers and fellow competitors whether it is worth pressing on with the Giro d'Italia following this week’s COVID-19 cases. The team’s general manager Jonathan Vaughters denied reports that it had asked for the race to be called off but warned that it could become chaotic if there were further positive tests and said race organiser RCS should not push its luck. “When we look at 11 positive tests on the last rest day, that brings you to a two percent positive rate in the race bubble,” he said, adding that the bubble risked being pierced. it could become chaotic.” Vaughters said that his team's suggestion was that everyone should get together to decide on an “end point.” He said that would mean that “everyone knows when the race is going to end and we know what the risks are for the rest of the race, as opposed to right now where things are sort of unknown.”
