They suck at updating past a certain day ahead, no stress, they won't miss the Tour.

 

Remember Supersport channels are being turned upside down from the 1st of September so presume they haven't quite worked out the scheduling yet

And as always they will screw up at least 1/4 of the PVR recordings if you cant watch live  :cursing:

I never even considered false positives, imagine how that must suck for the riders and how it could affect the tour if they don’t change the rules.

There needs to be the option of getting a B-sample tested as verification ASAP, as mentioned in the link. It is the only way to reduce the risk of a false positive throwing a rider out by mistake. 

 

This is THE race of the season, you can't have false-positives be responsible for throwing out an entire team.

Was chatting to a mate in the UK and he was going to France but of course that is off. I love the Tour as do all of us but i think its going to end in disaster this time around and would be surprised if they reach Paris. I would love to be wrong but i can't see how they can do this sort of event in current times.

Quick update - They (ASO) have sent info that the 2 positives for CV19 rule where they are sent home has been removed but with additional rules that are easier to handle and deal with. 

What was impressive (for me anyway) is that yesterday 20 teams had to go for PCR testing. It ran like clockwork and they did over 300 tests in the day. It was impressive to run an operation like that I believe.

 

Stage 1 - we reconed 90km of it yesterday - its hard, really hard and very technical. Expect some surprising things coming out that stage as day 1. 
 

Cheers all.

No not really, but they are happening and not only in the peloton. When you doing this volume of tests there is abound to be a false negative. Its not an ok excuse but it will happen when like yesterday you doing 300 tests in a day. My personal feel is that if there is a positive do an additional right away and get the result that day as there is a few hours turnover time for testing. 

 

Yesterday we were jabbed in both nostrils so not sure if they now having a A and B test sample for example but all I can say is that Im not to keen on this another 2-3 times. But you do what is required.
