Riders and staff from the Cofidis and Groupama-FDJ cycling teams are heading home today after being released from quarantine in Abu Dhabi.
The French UCI WorldTour teams were among four that shared the same floor of an Abu Dhabi hotel that has been in lockdown since two cases of coronavirus were diagnosed in staff from UAE Team Emirates during the UAE Tour at the end of February.
The discovery led to the final two stages of the race being cancelled and all riders and staff involved on the race, as well as journalists, being held in their hotels last weekend to be tested for the virus before they were allowed to return home.
Members of the Russian UCI Professional Continental Team, Gazprom, remain quarantined, as do those from UAE Team Emirates.
Last Tuesday, it was announced that six more people involved with the race – two Italians, two Russians, a German and a Colombian – had tested positive for the virus.
The virus has led to the cancellation of the spring racing programme in Italy, including leading races such as Strade Bianche, Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-San Remo.
Across the border in France, Paris-Nice has got under way today, but with protocols in place to try and stop the potential spreading of infection.

So which is the free one then? All the ones I can see in this list will cost.
Nice though that Ribble is, it's not a pro-team bike, is it? Got to love a bit of 90s Campagnolo, shame it's only a 50t, but I guess those Chiltern...
Agree, but again it's how to start to break the vicious circle?...
I'm either amazed that they can get through with (presumably) a full sized waste truck, or amazed that she could not. Although as you say the bin...
