J Wakefield Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Yass, Tadej!... at what? 24? This kid has the goods. Hard to belive the Yates sisters are still so young too. Adam looks to have really good early form and heaps of big power for such a miniature human He is 21yrs old.

Jewbacca Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 He is 21yrs old. 21 eh?! WOW John, keep doing what you are all doing! The team is looking phenomenal at the moment. I am really enjoying the youngsters and their complete disregard for the 'peleton rules'.... Shake up the racing, shake it up early and all the time. It's great to see

Are they going to isolate the whole population?
Gen Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Eh!"To see if they present any symptoms"Is there a good reason for this, other than epidemic paranoia... Are they going to isolate the whole population?Details are sketchy..saw this on twitter The situation at the moment is a bit confused, but authorities are testing all riders and staff located in a specific hotel due to a possible case of coronavirus #UAETour More infos on @stefanorizzato profile https://twitter.com/StrongCycling/status/1233129077307060232?s=19 Perhaps someone staying the that hotel has symptoms .. look if someone indeed has the virus and that person comes into contact with one of the riders it would spread like wildlife through the peloton...and all those riders who have asthma would be in serious trouble.

WrightJnr Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 Crazy this.... I work here with an Italian chap. He’s been talking all week about his folks in Northern Italy and how they have shut down due to the outbreak. Shops have run out of food and water, schools have closed and the place is basically on lock down. I thought he was exaggerating a bit.....seems not!! Bloody Italians !!!!
JScottP Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/final-uae-tour-stages-called-off-over-coronavirus-fears/ 2 Italian members of staff of one of the teams have contracted the virus.
WrightJnr Posted February 28, 2020 Author Posted February 28, 2020 And a pity, I was hoping to head out to the stage today... Oh well. Safety first and thinking about it, imagine how an infected Pro Peloton could spread this thing!! I mentioned a few days ago just how many people were involved in the event, and all of them in close proximity for days on end.... Yoh!!
