“It is with great regret that I have to announce that I have to withdraw from the Giro d’Italia due to Covid-19, after undergoing a routine Covid test, which unfortunately came back positive. My experience here has been very special and I have been looking forward to competing in the next two weeks. I can’t say enough to thank the staff and the rest of my teammates who have sacrificed so much for the preparation for the Giro. I am proud to leave the Giro after winning two stages and four pink jerseys. Thank you, Remco”.
