CHATEL, France (Reuters) -Tadej Pogacar's rivals have been sharpening their knives as the Tour de France hits the Alps, but the biggest threat to the Slovenian's quest for a third consecutive title might be the COVID-19 surge within the peloton.
Three riders in two days had to pull out of the race after being infected with the virus and showing symptoms, raising fears that the bunch could be decimated when all the riders will be tested on Sunday night and during the rest day in Morzine on Monday.
