All French sport is stopped until September. "The 2019-2020 professional sports season, especially the soccer season, cannot resume." Here is what the Prime Minister announced on Tuesday during his speech at the National Assembly. What to end the hopes of the different championships interrupted since mid-March because of the Covid-19 pandemic. “To give event organizers visibility, I want to make it clear that major sporting events, all events that bring together more than 5,000 participants and are therefore the subject of a declaration at the prefecture and must be organized for a long time. advance, will not be able to be held before the month of September ”, added Edouard Philippe before the deputies. 

The hypothesis of resumption of Ligue 1 football on June 17 behind closed doors now seems more than compromised. Just like that of the Top 14 rugby. The holding of the Tour de France, rescheduled from August 29 to September 20, remains pending. For cyclists, confined like all other sportsmen since March 17, the Prime Minister's announcements, however, pave the way for the resumption of individual training on the road.
