Korona virus ustavil dirko po Združenih arabskih emiratih
Zadnji dve etapi dirke po Združenih arabskih emiratih sta bili zaradi okužbe s korona virusom odpovedani.
Na dirki je v peti, kot kaže zadnji etapi slavil Tadej Pogačar, ki je tudi nosilec majice najboljšega mladega kolesarja, skupno pa je na drugem mestu. Vodilni je Simon Yates. Poleg Pogačarja je na dirki tudi Luka Mezgec.
Obvestilo o odpovedi so pred uradno objavo na Twitterju objavile nekatere ekipe. Kolesarji in osebje nimajo izhoda iz hotela, okuženi pa naj bi bili dve osebi.
Varnost kolesarjev in osebja je na prvem mestu, upamo, da bodo ukrepi preprečili nadaljno širitev okužbe.
