The sentence:

"The most important thing is that no runner is positive"

Signed Christian Prudhomme, the director of the Tour: “The test I took yesterday turned out to be positive.

I was tested on August 6, then on August 20 and 27, both with the PCR nasal test and the blood test, everything was negative.

And for the one I suffered yesterday, I was warned that it was positive.

I did not want to be part of the bubble race because I am in contact with several populations: elected officials, partners, journalists.

On the other hand, Thierry Gouvenou, our race director, is one of them.

However, I wanted to undergo all the tests, at the same pace as the runners.

So I am going to isolate myself for a week and I will be back next Tuesday.

Like tens of thousands of French employees, who are forced to stop working when they are in the same situation as me.

However, even though I tested positive, I feel very good.

The most important thing is that no runner is positive. ”
