The cycling season is starting again. Saturday was in Italy Strade Bianche, other major cycling races will follow in the coming weeks. However, the strict security measures that have to be observed because of the coronavirus do not seem to be everywhere.
In the South of France, for example, in the Route d’Occitanie, the desired separation between cyclists and the public was certainly not foolproof. After the race on Sunday, fans could just mix there between the drivers and their drivers. Team Ineos rider Dylan van Baarle told about it Along the line on NPO Radio 1.
“I experienced that today, yes. Bizarre. Our caregivers try to do everything to give us mouth masks, but people still want to pull your water bottle out of the bicycle,” says Van Baarle.
“I think it is quite mild with the restrictions here. If you also see how many people are standing on the side without a mouth mask, I am surprised.”
Listen to the interview with Dylan van Baarle below. From 4:38 it is about the corona measures.
