Which arguments did Amador have or did it relate to the three Amigos etc?

Gorilla out for the entire classics season with a dislocated shoulder from a training crash, what a shame.
Politt left with an absolute bare-bones support on the cobbles at Israel now.

That team is practically unbalanced, though, Greipel would be a huge support but still choices would lack. Shame, though, he was looking better. |

Sponsors are increasing their budgets, and their pressure for results in the only race that matters (to them). |

Because of the coronavirus, Tirreno-Adriatico are Milano-San Remo are in doubt, according to RCS director Mauro Vegni. There's no plan B if the government bans big sporting events in the regions:

FFS, the panic wave is going to do more damage than the virus.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Yeah and Inter’s Europa League match will not have any attendance.
I agree you do need to have extra precautions since the virus has a lasting incubation period and you do not know how far it has spread. Better be predictive rather than reactionary. However, I also agree the alarming and panic is too exaggerated and that can not be justified to make a decision concerning those races. |

But will it be the same if we don't eagerly await Igor Anton to get dropped?

Final two UAE Tour stages called off over coronavirus fears....
https://www.cycli...rus-fears/
EDIT: apparently two staff from an undisclosed team have been infected by the virus, hence the decision.

In the cycling news article it's says 2 Italian participants tested positive and all riders will be tested for the virus .
I can see a lot of races this year being cancelled.

Also everyone's quarantained in the hotel for now, this could be a lot of lost trainingdays if it stays like this. Possibly even a problem for those who targetted Strade, Paris-Nice or Tirreno.

I don't think that's a problem. Cause I don't believe any of those races are going forward, Paris-Nice at best but anything in Italy will be cancelled for sure, Spain will likely also have cancelled races, Benelux has cases starting to appear aswell.. Will be some rough rough month
