(ANSA) – ROME, JUL 12 – Rafal Majka is positive for Covid-19. However, his viral load is deemed low, so the UAE Emirates runner is not deemed contagious to his colleagues. The Pole is the third member of the yellow jersey team Tadej Pogacar to test positive, after the Norwegian Vegard Stake Laengen and the New Zealander Sam Bennett.
Dr. Adrian Rotunno, from the UAE team, posted the following tweet on the team’s official account: “As per our internal protocols @majkaformal was tested for Covid-19 and this morning returned a positive result. It is asymptomatic and, analyzing his PCR, a very low risk of infectivity was found, similar to the case of Bob Jungels at the start of the race “.
The Luxembourgish, who triumphed on Sunday in the first Alpine stage, had been sent off, despite the positivity to Covid-19, precisely because of his low viral load. (HANDLE).
