UAE Team Emirates confirmed that Isaac del Toro tested positive for COVID-19 during Vuelta a España but remains asymptomatic and can continue racing based on test assessments.
Dr. Jason Suter noted that Del Toro's high CT score indicates lower infectivity and a lower viral load, enabling him to safely participate in the race.
The team's commitment to health is highlighted by reassessing Del Toro's condition daily, with ongoing testing and strict hygiene protocols to minimize transmission risk.
A previous case in the 2022 Vuelta saw another rider, Juan Ayuso, able to compete despite testing positive, showing the team's approach to handling such scenarios.
