Two French cycling teams isolated for 10 days in a hotel in the United Arab Emirates over coronavirus fears have revealed that their time in quarantine is coming to an end, AFP reports.

Cofidis and Groupama-FDJ had been in lockdown in the country after a number of COVID-19 cases led to the cancellation of the UAE Tour late last month.

Both teams had been quarantined when people who had tested positive for the virus were found to have been staying on the same floor at the hotel as the two teams.
