#1 I'm not sure they're even going to hold the event (it's supposed to start next weekend):

If two cases of COVID-19 are discovered in a team at the Tour de France, the whole team and staff will be removed but the race will continue.

As the days countdown to the Grand Départ in Nice next week, Tour de France organiser ASO has confirmed that strict decision and explained its COVID-19 medical protocol to the 22 teams, with French law and COVID-19 rules the basis for the latest race protocol.

France revealed there had been 4,771 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, the highest increase since the end of the French lockdown in May. Hospital and intensive care admissions remain stable due to a lower average age of the cases as well as the lesser impact of the virus on young people.

Just like bureaucrats and politicians to not understand basic stats yet still feel they need to make decisions based on their misunderstandings.
