On Thursday, French Prime Minister Jean Castex put Nice on a Covid-19 'red zone' list with tightened health protocols.

NICE - The Tour de France rolls out from the French Riviera on Saturday, two months later than planned and under the shadow of a coronavirus pandemic which could still shatter hopes of the world's greatest bike race making it to the Paris finish line in three weeks' time.

"Screening will also be in place in the 20-or-so climbs and passes," Prudhomme added, explaining that "in certain places, only people on foot, by bicycle or who come on public transport set up by the hosting towns or villages can go to the passes." Lotto-Soudal's diminutive Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan, who stands at 5ft 5in , is a red hot favourite to win the opener after three stage wins in 2019."Stage 1 is not too hard for me, it'll be cool and maybe rainy, which suits me."
