USA Cycling reported Monday that Hannah Finchamp (Orange Seal Off-Road Team) and Pieter Wheymeyer, a teacher from the Bear national team, tested positive for COVID-19.
Both had to do so since the recent ICU Mountain Bike World Cup in Nové Msto na Moravo, Czech Republic, and enrolled in the USA Cycling delegation at the ICU World Championships in Leogang, Austria.
Finchamp and Wheymeyer went into quarantine. Wheymeyer returned home to Kitzbahel, Austria, on Sunday and told Austrian fitness officials that she had tested positive.
USA Cycling contacted the Austrian Health Organization to provide the names, dates of birth and contact details of athletes who were part of the same organization at the World Cup, where positive tests were successful.
Before leaving Nové Msto, members of the U. S. team will not be able to do so. But it’s not the first time They were edited and all the effects were negative again. USA Cycling has spoken to ICU officials and will have the delegation back once it arrives in Austria.
Finchamp won the Mid South 2020, the last large-scale gravel cycling occasion in the United States to take a position before the forced provocation of COVID-19. The off-road runner is one of VeloNews’ columnists.
