Tour de France: panic in the peloton, the Covid returns to the Grande Boucle

A beautiful transition stage between Jura and the Alps, a punchy arrival in Lausanne, a bright sun, a boss, Tadej Pogacar, beaming: the start of the 8th stage of the Tour de France Dole-Lausanne, this Saturday, had everything to be a Party. However, at the foot of the riders’ buses a few minutes from the start, the faces are tense. Behind the masks, mandatory in this area, we can guess the clenched jaws of the staffs of the 22 teams.
