Cycling's governing body has relaxed its COVID-19 exclusion rules on the eve of the Tour de France opening stage following complaints from teams that feared their riders would be unduly excluded from the race.After meeting with team officials, the UCI said Friday that a team won't be automatically sent home if two of its riders test positive for the virus as was initially planned.According to the revised protocol, it will be up to Tour de France organizers to decide whether to throw a whole team out of the race.“In the case of two or more riders from the same team testing positive for COVID-19 within a period of seven days at a Grand Tour, the UCI will give the event organiser authorisation to announce the withdrawal of the team for health.
