No autographs: Tour sets up anti-Covid plan

Tour de France organisers have set up an anti-Covid protocol for next month’s race, with riders and team staff banned from signing autographs and eating out of their hotels. Access to the paddock will be allowed when the Tour starts in Bilbao on 29 June, with everyone required to wear a mask. On Friday, France reported 3,204 Covid-19 cases in the country. This time last year, there were about 25,000 reported daily cases in France. Giro d’Italia organisers set up an anti-Covid protocol last month after Remco Evenepoel tested positive when leading.
