It happens again.
For the second time in this year's Tour de France race, protesters broke into the road today (Friday) and caused it to stop for several minutes.
The peloton slowed after about 30 kilometers into the 19th segment, and it was soon clear that the events of the past were repeating themselves, as red smoke billowed ahead of the pack, and five people who broke into the track and sat on the road, brought it to a halt.

At any stage of the demonstration, she was indistinguishable.
The photographers concentrated on the riders, who stopped and looked at the nature around them, until the police cleared the road and it was possible to continue the grueling race, all this two days before reaching the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
The lack of footage seems to indicate that the race organizers and the host television production have refined their protocol since last week, when protesters also blocked the road in the tenth section, by not giving the protest airtime, or space for their slogans.
In any case, on social networks, it is speculated that this is the same group that has been demonstrating in recent months at major sports events, against the global climate crisis.
Ce qui n'est pas diffusion n'est jamais arrivé.
