"The Tour de France has reintroduced protective measures against COVID-19, with race organisation, media and guests now required to wear masks wherever they come into contact with riders and team staff on the race." 👀

Yeah, if Tadej Pogačar gets COVID-19… 🥲

Jonas Vingegaard: ‘There is still a chance’ to win the Tour de Francewww.cyclingnews.com Dane still defiant but says if Pogačar ‘keeps up this level, it’ll be hard’ to defeat him

Personally, I'd like to run my eyes over the W/kg data both Pogačar & Vingegaard have produced on the biggest climbs. Cycling has cleaned up a lot since the bad old days of the 90s, but these two are producing super-human performances, so yeah, it does raise an eyebrow or two. 🤔

About a week too late, I'd say. It was a HUGE and stupid mistake to let Geraint Thomas race with "mild" symptoms.

They should have been kept in isolation like keirin riders.

You'd think the teams and tour organizers would implement safety guidelines to prevent the spread. They did it successfully the past few years.

well…

The ASO just catastrophically stupid and irresponsible on that one, not to mention G. I would have thought he'd know better.
