Roxana Maracineanu dismissed in her 22. The Minister of Sports, who had mentioned the possibility of a Tour de France without public on the same principle as the Paris-Nice race disputed in mid-March, was not followed by Christian Prudhomme.
In a short speech in La Montagne, the race director assured that "the Tour de France would not take place behind closed doors". The Tour de France is fervor, it's enthusiasm, it's smiles above all. We must find these smiles. "
The former journalist still conceded that "he was working on other assumptions for the dates", while the prospect of a general deconfinement in the coming weeks has been ruled out by the government. The race should in theory take place from June 27 to July 19, but the Gazzetta advanced Wednesday a cycling season gathered over a few weeks, with for example a Tour de France which would be shifted by a month in the heart of summer.
Our opinion ? A Tour with the supporters by the roadside in August, we sign immediately with our three hands.
