He Tour de France announced this Sunday that the masks will be mandatory for all approaching cyclists at the start or finish, due to the emergence of several covid cases in the peloton.
The organizers announced this measure before the start of the fifteenth stage in Loudonville, and it will apply to their staff as well as visitors and journalists.
The proposal was adopted after the abandonment due to covid of some cyclists, such as the Spanish Juan Ayuso or the British Tom Pidcock.
Others, such as Britain’s Geraint Thomas, remain in the competition despite having “mild symptoms” of the virus.
In recent days, masks have become more visible on some cyclists and members of the teams’ technical team.
