La Vuelta 2022: ‘No consistency’ – Dan Lloyd and Adam Blythe on Juan Ayuso coronavirus debate
Dan Lloyd says it’s “frustrating” that “there’s no consistency” in cycling regarding coronavirus regulations, after Juan Ayuso tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of Stage 13 at La Vuelta but was allowed to continue. Ayuso became the 24th rider to be infected by coronavirus but will continue due to a low viral load, which was the case with his UAE Team Emirates team-mate Rafal Majka at the Tour de France. Ad «As per our internal protocols, Juan Ayuso was tested for Covid-19 and returned a positive result this morning,» said UAE Team Emirates doctor Adrian Rotunno.
