World time trial champion Filippo Ganna has tested positive for Covid-19 while at a national team training camp in Lombardy.
Ganna began to display mild headache, nausea and shivering through and stayed in confinement in his room. He was then tested Thursday to be confirmed as positive for COVID-19.
The Italian has returned home to self-quarantine from the training camp in Montichiari.
“All the swabs made to the other riders of the national team are negative,” stated a release from Federciclismo. “Further checks will be carried out in the next few days, until the day before the departure for the European championships next Sunday.”
Earlier this season, Ganna was pulled out of Italian Championships as a precautionary measure having been in contact with Ineos teammate Leonardo Basso, who had tested positive in the days before the race.
