2020 Tour de France

[J Wakefield]

Going to have to postpone some site-visits scheduled for this afternoon then.

 

Bring it on!

We expect nothing less!!

Some search results shows that Teams can access their results at 09:00 (BST), so that's 10:00 (SA time). 

 

 

Nobody got any updates on this yet from the interwebs?

 

Happy to see UAE there... but where is Jumbo Visma?

The best quote so far, for those with an acute sense of humour:

Despite some fans without masks crowding around riders during the Pyrenean stages, Brailsford described the Tour so far as very positive (is that a pun?), saying: “All the teams, the organisers, ASO, have pulled together to make it happen. It’s been well thought through. It feels a little bit more organised and, dare I say it, less chaotic than a normal Tour.”

As I understand teams had until 10am (our time) to submit results..UCI and ASO Then to assess and then release a statement Edited September 8, 2020 by Gen

Gives teams very little time to do a B-sample test and have it confirmed before the Stage starts at 13h00.

 

ASO/UCI statement to be the final word?

I think perhaps a second sample would been done last night in the event of a positive. not too sure I am sure John will shed some light.on what the procedures are.

Final 50km will be decisive 

Final 20km very technical

Probably best to not speculate any further  .

 

C'mon UCI/ASO, don't leave us hanging...

So, what happened to no news is good news?

 

Everything is fine unless reported otherwise, right?

Must take up that uneven road surface with the civil engineers. Shocking!
