TOKYO (Reuters) - Germany's entire road race team are still in a state of uncertainty at the Tokyo Games following cyclist Simon Geschke's positive COVID-19 test, team officials said on Saturday.

The 35-year-old, who has been vaccinated twice and was due to compete in Saturday's road race, has been isolated but questions remain over the other eight team members -- four men and four women -- who were all staying at the same hotel, away from the Olympic village.
