Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in her column for , she told how world cycling leaders are battling viruses during the season.

— Recently, I was told how the best cyclists in the world are fighting viruses. What can I say, they are fighting hard: before Sagan or Pogacar stops at a hotel – any hotel! — specially trained people from their team come there. They bring their own mattresses (the usual comfort and guaranteed absence of germs), the entire room is additionally vacuumed, all places that the champion can then touch with his hand (bathroom faucet, etc.) are wiped with an antibacterial composition. Then the entire room is covered with a special film (the carpet is another favorite refuge for germs). And only then do they give the athlete the green light: come in, the danger is eliminated! I don’t care how much money Pogacar won, I don’t really follow the Tour de France either. But this kind of “athlete’s service” – here envy takes over, what to hide, – wrote Stepanova for .
