Ganna positive for Covid, withdraws from the Giro d’Italia- Corriere.it

The Giro d’Italia loses Filippo Ganna. On the eve of the Cesena time trial where a great performance was expected, the Ineos Granadiers champion, who on Saturday morning had a low-grade fever and flu symptoms, tested positive for Covid and immediately withdrew from the race.

In the squadron of Geoghegan Hart and Thomas, among the favorites for the final victory, it is now hoped that there are no others infected. With Ganna, the number of athletes who dropped out of the race due to the infection rose to three, while another six had to give up the race a few days or a few hours before the start.
