Tour De France 2020

Apparently all riders and staff clear, which is a small miracle

That's excellent news.

Interesting. Imlach said on the ITV rest day show that sources had said that there had been some positives.

word on the 'street' (twiter) was that was fake news

lovely stuff

Glad to hear it!

All we need now is gale force crosswinds for an all round great day

The organisers have only said no riders are positive, nothing as clear on team staff yet.

apparently it was everyone: https://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/Tour-de-france-aucun-coureur-positif-au-covid-19/1169383

That says everyone was tested and no riders tested positive. It doesn’t make the same claim for team staff.

i missed the bit at the end that does indeed confirm that

Four team members reportedly tested positive, all from different teams.

Christian Prudhomme tested positive! He's gone for a re-test.

The teams were probably quite fortunate to just miss the two strike rule

Prudhomme had the French Prime Minister as his guest at the race last week so that should be interesting.

He sat in a car with him for at least part of Saturday’s stage.

He was on his lap for half of it.

Couldn't make that up really could you?

Sir Dave?

Is prudhomme the technical service provider?

Isn't that from 2012 when Grindr broke?

1 staff member each from Team Cofidis, AG2R La Mondiale, Ineos Grenadiers and Mitchelton-Scott.

The way things are going, all 4 are going to be ejected as of the next rest day?

Spicy news. Need to race hard in the second week to get in position in case of abandonment maybe.

didn't hear about that but it's a story with a long history

Just seen this, "rog and pog" has been annoying
