Really not sure even if there was one that ASO would announce it. They have 2 weeks of TV to sell still.

There is that to lol

 

Or if teams will not be creative with their results

 

Football players that have travelled for international duty are starting to return positives and they don't spend nearly the same amount of time together as the cyclists do nor are they exposed to fans...their bubbles are much better and also a lot more luxurious than cyclists [emoji6]...so yeah it's highly unlikely that there will be no positives in the next 2 weeks.

It's not really up to them. The rules around pulling teams from the race and number of positives comes from the French government, not the race organiser.

Still no official statement yet either[emoji848]

 

 

So that's confusing.

What are you confused about?

What are you confused about?

No official statement yet..surely they should just release a statement saying all good lets go.. L'Equipe reported no positives

[TNT1]

surely they should just release a statement saying all good lets go.. 

Why?

 

Unlike the last few pages here, maybe the focus (as it should be if you ask me) is on the racing?

I don't see them saying at all that they would make a blanket statement such as you are looking for.

It's even more of a joke than "anti-doping" testing. They should just stop testing, or at least shut up about it. These incorrect results just makes the whole thing less and less believable.

So you don't want testing for covid or you don't wan to know about it..surely if there a mistake it is good that they retest.. no one wants errors with this. Edited September 8, 2020 by Gen

I'm not sure what you're looking for. There are millions of corona thread around the interwebs. Probably half of them right here on this forum. Go get a rise out of someone there.

 

I apologise for even commenting on it. I'll stick to watching the racing and I'll talk to people interested in that rather.
