If the European Football Championship has been postponed and the Olympics are at risk of slipping, the Tour de France organizers are more determined than ever to respect the scheduled dates, from 27 June to 19 July. This is what the French newspaper Le Parisien reports, citing sources from the organization of the Grande Boucle.
The Amaury Sport Organization (Aso), which organizes the race, has not yet imagined any plan B. Sports Minister Roxana Maraicneanu told France Inter microphones that it would be "of paramount importance that the Tour, such as the Games Olympics, could take place. "
The hypothesis would be that of a modified route, probably shortened, and with the prohibition of the public at the start and at the finish of the stages. In this year's program, the Tour does not include stops abroad (the first would be in Nice) and the entire race had been brought forward in order not to overlap the Tokyo Olympics, in turn ahead of previous editions.
