A handful of Groupama-FDJ riders may still be quarantined at their United Arab Emirates hotel following the cancellation of the UAE Tour amid an outbreak of coronavirus Covid-19, but that isn't preventing them from competing on their bikes this Sunday.

At least three of the riders still at the UAE hotel will ride Go Zwift's Denmark Cycling Union 2020 Cup Sunday morning to try and hold onto their early season fitness.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
