CARCASONNE, France (Reuters) - The AG2R-Citroen team were down to three riders when Aurelien Paret-Peintre and Mikael Cherel left the race after testing positive for COVID-19, the French outfit said on Tuesday.

Frenchmen Paret-Peintre and Cherel take the tally of riders out of the race with COVID-19 to 11 just before Tuesday's 16th stage to Foix as Cofidis said their German rider Max Walscheid has also tested positive for COVID.
