What's the policy? Positive test and you're out? Or can you crack on depending how you feel?
I thought, at least here in the UK, we can crack on with working if we feel OK. But, suppose it's different when it comes to elite sports people. Better safe than sorry and best not to have it run riot through the peloton (although it seems a bit too late now!).

Geraint Thomas says that Roglic had told him that he had tested positive. Whether he was just on a wind up or not I have no idea. You'd imagine there would be protocols rather than team/rider discretion.

I can imagine the Belgian media will be clamouring for it.
Would it mean a massive change of strategy for Quickstep?
Presume they'd been aiming for stage wins for Jakobsen and Alaphilippe, rather than GC?

Although looks like have the Quickstep team have also now pulled out too, so who knows? 
A crash has knackered Ineos. TGH out, Sivakov battered.

[Poor language removed], Tao had looked in great form.
Other than cost and looking like a lazy c-word, convince me away from a recumbent, @Bruce Wayne. As an avid mountain biker in the past the last part is what I'm struggling with but I'm city-bound more than I'm able to be out rock hopping.
Mishaps are always a major factor in the Giro given the weather and parcours. I agree though, it's hard on Tao as he's been looking in the best form since he won it two years ago.
Supposed to be very quick aren't they? I can't say I'd feel very safe riding in the city though as your visibility must be reduced.

They're clown cars - swerve. If you're struggling with time for the MTB then an ebike can make a massive difference. Big outlay, though, and batteries are consumable items in the UK climate.
Not about time, just fitness for my 50th B-day plan for the Colorado trail...my knees are too shot, as well. I don't want to kick my own a$$ before the time comes.
Recumbent? Fly your freak flag! We have a few around here but I wouldn’t want to be roadkill.
