The race is on and the 156 kilometers are estimated to have been completed by 6 pm in Nice.
After 38 km, a crash occurred where several skiers ended up on the asphalt. However, everyone got on the bikes and was able to continue, but the crowd slowed down.
- It is a first miracle that we could start this race but we also need a second miracle which is that the Tour de France will reach Paris, says the chairman of the International Cycling Union, David Lappartient, according to AP. The finish line will take place in Paris on 20 September.
There are strict corona rules around the participating stables, which include eight skiers. If a stable goes on two covid-19 cases within a week, the staff is also counted, you will be washed from continued competition.
