“Faced with the disarray of the breeders concerned and in order to preserve the serenity of the race, it was decided, in agreement with the authorities, to modify the journey of the 19th stage Albertville-La Plagne and not to cross the Col des Entries”the organizers said in a press release. “It's really a shame for the tourism of the seizure station not to see the Tour”declares Xavier Desmarets, mayor of Hauteluce, one of the three municipalities of the seizure station.

But the agricultural world has the right to be respected and it must be taken into account. “Decisions come from above and anyway, we cannot go against a decision like this. I don't even have to accept it or not. I think there was an concern about the agricultural world on the race. But on the other hand, we must face the fact that the health crisis has a lot of impact and needs to be treated serenely”adds the elected official.
