Expected there would've been a few casualties, so this is brilliant news. Off we go!

Great news but I think this was always the likely outcome - teams are going to be so so safe in their approach to it here. I'm mostly worried about what happens if the number of cases in france continues going up tbh

You guys are forgetting an important point by drawing those conclusions. The time frame of infection can reach until 2 weeks (sorry don't have the right scientific vocabulary) . Let's talk about this again next Monday, even if I'm pretty relieved by those first results of course.

No politics here and I don't want any debate with this parallel. But out of the great respect I have for that man, his communication reminds me of Trump. At this level, don't they have any communication experts/advisor?
They would have never got where they are today...

Do you think it made an impact on their sportive results?
I don't discard Lefevere skills/charisma and talent here. I'm just saying that they use Twitter like it's their personal space. That's wrong in terms of communicating.

Lol, Prudhomme tested positive himself :tearsofjoy:

Along with 4 staff members from different teams!

While it's somewhat funny, it could be bad for the second round if tests (depending who they were in contact with)

Edit: if test results are confirmed, I hope that affected teams would act more prudently instead of waiting for the next rest day tests

I don't know if he has been in close contact with the riders or teams (I hope not) but he did apparently have the French Prime Minister in his car just two days ago.

The positive tests for the staff members seems to be bad news indeed because they obviously had to have had close contact with other team members.
