Tour de France Stage 3 runs without spectators amid wildfire threat

anyways back to my other definitely not corrupt sporting event of the summer, the Tour de France

Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is wearing a high quality mask at the start of the race. He said: “I hear already that there’s some sickness in some teams and I’ve had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: ‘Better safe than sorry.’” Great job! 👏

For those disgusted with FIFA, I invite you to boycott the rest of the World Cup and watch the Tour de France instead. The UCI is less corrupt and the riders don’t feign injuries.
