France's Warren Barguil became the latest rider to pull out of the Tour de France after testing positive for COVID-19 ahead of stage 13, his team Arkea-Samsic said on Friday.

Barguil is the sixth rider to leave the race due to a positive COVID-19 test since the start on July 1.

"Our seven other riders have all tested negative," Arkea-Samsic wrote on Twitter. "Thank you for everything (Warren)."

Friday's 13th stage is a 192.6-km ride from Le Bourg d'Oisans to St Etienne.
