Guest Saturday morning in Europe, Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice, welcomed the maintenance of the Tour de France which will start in his city. For the councilor, organizing this competition, undoubtedly the most famous of the discipline, is also a symbolic way of raising one's head in the face of the epidemic.

INTERVIEW

The Tour de France will start at the beginning of the afternoon from Nice, a rather dreary start for this 107th edition of the big loop, since it will be carried out behind closed doors as a health precaution. But while the monitoring indicators for the epidemic have continued to panic in France for several weeks - more than 7,000 new cases of infection were recorded from Thursday to Friday - the maintenance of this competition, which traditionally brings together many supporters along the roads, question. "It was a good decision," nevertheless ensures at the microphone of Europe Matin Christian Estrosi, the mayor of Nice.
