If two instances of COVID-19 are discovered in a Tour de France team, the entire team will be governed and the race will continue.
While the countdown to the Grand Départ in Nice next week, the organizer of the Tour de France ASO showed this strict resolution and explained its COVID-19 protocol to the 22 teams, with French law and COVID-19 being the basis of the last race. Protocol.
France revealed that there had been 4771 new instances of COVID-19 on Thursday, the largest accumulation since the french close ended in May. Hospital admissions and resuscitation are still strong due to decreased average age of instances and decreased virus effect on young people.
French President Emanuel Macron warned that there would be no national blockade at a time, but local government is enduing restrictions.Alpes-Maritimes, where Nice is located, has one of the coVID-19 case numbers in France, with 59.8 cases consisting of 100,000 inhabitants and 3% of all tests yielding positive results.
So far, it is known that only four cyclists tested positive for COVID-19 since reboot, and only Hugo Houle of Astana tested positive after competing in Israel’s Tour de Polonia.Omer Goldstein of Israel Start-Up Nation tested positive before the Vuelta a Burgos.Finally, AG2R La Mondiale had two positive tests: Silvan Dillier, an expired retreat from Strade Bianche, and Larry Warbasse on Friday morning.
However, the Tour de France is in a position to continue as arrangements continue. In a recent interview with Cyclingnews, ICU President David Lappartient showed that the Tour de France would continue if instances of COVID-19 emerge in the team’s protective bubbles.
“A race won’t stop if there’s a positive case, no one knows if the race will continue until the end,” Lappartient told Cyclingnews.
“Of course, any runner whose result is positive in a race will come out of the race.Then we have to review the contact cases, those who have had close contact with the broker, following the regulations of the World Health Organization.some of them will also have to give up a career.”
According to reports from Velonews and Het Nieuwsblad, the Tour de France protocol stipulates that if two instances of COVID-19 appear on a team, the entire team (8 cyclists and 30 staff members) will be removed from the race.Each and every team living isolated in hotels, racing and riding in a platoon is not considered a major threat of increased pollution, the Tour de France will continue in theory.
“If two or more people on the same team have very suspicious symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19, the team will be expelled from the Tour de France,” says the ASO document.
“Your runners will not be allowed to start the Tour de France (or the next stage) and the team will be stripped of your accreditation.”
Two sports that will be in the Tour de France showed the two-shot rule to the Reuters news agency, which reported that ASO had refused to comment.
The ICU has created a strict back-to-race COVID-19 protocol and groups have also created internal protocols to further restrict the threat of contagion within a computer.
The ICU protocol requires groups to go through two tests before attending the races, establishes a regulation on the distance of protection between those of the bubbles of the protected equipment and the rest of the racing caravan and explains what happens if a case of COVID-19 seems the case.The ICU and race protocols must comply with all local authorities’ regulations on COVID-19 control.
Race organizers must appoint a COVID-19 physician to take care of all instances with the team’s doctors.A threat assessment is conducted based on local case data and runners will need to complete a fitness questionnaire every day, on a regular basis.through a compromised application, to identify any symptoms of COVID-19.The groups will sleep in separate wings of the hotels and have at most created kitchens and cell dining rooms to avoid contact with other guests.
Some groups have had trouble completing their pre-race control protocol from the start, however, there will be a cell control facility on the Tour de France, and the driver and staff will also control the day off on September 7 and 14.
According to the Tour de France protocol, groups can upgrade any rider who testes positive, with a final wait of 10 hours before the first level on Saturday, August 29.
As we have noticed in the races, runners should wear mask when registering at the start and after the race when they pass on the bus or talk to the media, who will also have to stick to strict medical regulations but stay out..of the team bubble.
Autographs and selfies are no longer allowed, as O limits the number of other people at the beginning of the stages and asks road enthusiasts to wear masks as well.
“I’m sure of the continuation of the Tour de France,” Lappartient told Cyclingnews at Strade Bianche’s races in Italy.
“Of course, there is no risk 0; we may have a big group in Nice or a momentary fast wave.I am following things very closely with the organizers of the race and I am sure that the Tour de France will take place.”
