Secrecy and suspense over Tour de France's fate amid Covid-19 crisis | Malay Mail

But with France entering its third week of coronavirus lockdown and more than 3,000 deaths in the country, organisers ASO are refusing to comment on their plans, other than to say they will act in the best interests of the general public. “When you look back through the history books in 20 years' time, if in 2020 there was no Tour, that doesn't matter.

Unlike all other races, almost every contender likes to arrive at the Tour in peak form, and that requires intensive training.“If you knew that the Tour de Suisse was going to be your next race, you could just work towards that and devise a training programme. But at the moment it's all up in the air,” he said.“At the latest we'd need the guys out on the roads training by May 10,” the boss of French team Arkea-Samsic, Emmanuel Hubert, told AFP.
