Tony Arbolino withdraws from the Aragón Grand Prix. The Moto3 rider must observe a period of preventive isolation provided by the Italian authorities.
Bad news for the Lombard driver, especially at the level of the world championship. Now that he had considerably caught up at the head of the standings (-20 points after Le Mans) and was dreaming of great things, here is an unexpected blank result. But the rules are clear in this area: Quarantine is planned in the event of contact with a positive. We will now see how this period of isolation will unfold, before thinking about a return, which we are already considering at Aragon-2.
“Yesterday evening, I was informed by the Ministry of Health that, during my flight back from Le Mans, a confirmed case of Covod-19 had been identified,” Arbolino wrote. “
Unfortunately, the positive person in question was seated two rows behind mine and this requires me to complete a quarantine period, even if I took 3 samples which confirm my negativity and even if I was not in close contact with this person unknown to me. »
“I am very sad, angry, and disappointed to have to miss this race in Aragón. Also because during all these months, I have always scrupulously respected all restrictive measures to protect my health and that of others. In any case, I cannot and have not been able to do anything to change this situation and I just need to follow the instructions of the Italian Ministry of Health which, like all of us, is committed to protecting our health. . »
“There are some things we can't control, but we can certainly control how we react to things. Now I'm going to do this quarantine to recharge as much as possible and come back even more determined and hungrier than before. The objective remains clear. See you next week " concludes Tony Arbolino.
