Cyclist Geoffrey Bouchard will no longer start in the eighth stage of the Tour de France. The Frenchman of AG2R has tested positive for the corona virus after the seventh stage and is immediately isolated from the rest of the team.
Bouchard did not feel fit during the seventh stage to La Super Planche des Belles Filles and immediately did an antigen test afterwards. It was positive. “I didn’t feel so good during the ride. It’s a huge disappointment, because we just got to my favorite terrain, the mountains. It’s my first Tour de France and it’s a shame it ends like this,” said the 30 year old Frenchman. “I wish my teammates good luck and strength for the rest of the Tour.”
