So olympics start on bastille day. What are UCI going to do about tour start date. Slow hand clap for the IOC
Interesting. Putting aside the racing calendar of the athletes which neither UCI nor the ASO care about, what they DO care about is eyeballs and advertising dollars so there is no way the TDF will compete with the Olympics just like the TDF does not want to compete with the FIFA world cup, so I would guess the TdF is all done and wrapped up on that weekend for a max overlap of a few days.
If I recall the 2021 TdF ended the weekend Tokoy 2020 (delayed to 2021) started. I recall riders like Van Aert finishing on the Champs and purportedly catching a flight the same night to maximize time zone jet lag etc by gettting to Tokyo asap. Other riders dropped out of the last 2-3 days of the TdF to get to Tokyo however Carapaz who DID win the gold medal finished up the entire TdF too (3rd place).
