The Tour de France riders are resting on Monday July 11. The day before, they were tested at Covid-19, as explained by journalist Jules Longchamptin live from Thonon Les Bains (Haute-Savoie). In the morning, “The International Cycling Union indicates that all the tests carried out on the riders have proved negative. Yesterday, just after the stage, hidden from view and from the public, the 165 riders still in the running had to submit to a mandatory antigen test, because the threat of a giant cluster hangs over the peloton.reports the journalist.

“Over the past two days, three riders have been forced to retire, including Guillaume Martin, best Frenchman last year. Finally, the last information of the day: dozens of other Covid-19 tests were carried out this morning, not with the riders, but with the other members of the staff, of the teams. We’re still waiting for the results.”concludes the journalist.
