It is in a disturbing silence that the peloton of the Tour de France swallows the kilometers, Sunday, September 13. A Tour in the red zone in Ain. The few supporters can hardly believe their ears. Public prohibited for health reasons, a decision of the prefect of Ain. But some locals, who know the place well, have managed to slip through the cracks.
Great silence at the Grand Colombier
No spectators on the starting line in Lyon (Rhône), in the climbs of the Col de la Biche and the Grand Colombier. “The party is a little less crazy”, admits, fatalist, Benoît Cosnefroy, runner AG2R La Mondiale.
