Argentine cyclist Max Richeze has been released from a hospital in the UAE, where the UAE Team Emirates rider spent 18 days after testing positive for the coronavirus following the cancellation of the UAE Tour.
Richeze wrote on Instagram that two tests for Covid-19 had come back negative and he was discharged Wednesday.
Two staff members for UAE Team Emirates also tested positive, and the entire team remains in voluntary quarantine.
