Irish riders to be tested for virus as UAE Tour off

Irish cyclists Sam Bennett and Eddie Dunbar are among riders who will be tested for the coronavirus after the UAE Tour was cancelled amid Coronavirus fears on Thursday.

Chris Froome, who was using the race to make his long-awaited comeback from the career-threatening injuries he suffered last June, posted on Twitter that he was awaiting a test for the virus. Danish rider Michael Morkov completed the first four stages of the UAE Tour but then travelled to Berlin to compete in Sunday's Madison, and was seen in the velodrome on Thursday

Bit of a misleading headline. The whole peloton and support staff are being tested. Not just the two Irish riders.

😷Is the virus performance enhancing? Fuckin Dopers😂
