BERLIN (Reuters) - As preparation for a race goes, 34 hours in self-isolation in a hotel room is unlikely to catch on but an elated Michael Morkov shrugged it off to power Denmark to another gold at the track world championships on Sunday in the Madison.

Morkov, caught up in the coronavirus scare this week that shut down the UAE Tour and left the world's best riders in quarantine, showed no ill-effects as he and Lasse Norman Hansen won the title in the Berlin velodrome.
