A rider, or a team, in contention for the leader’s yellow jersey would have a strong incentive to keep any virus concerns secret.“If, two days before the end of the Tour, the yellow jersey is at risk, is he going to fill in the form in honesty and run the risk of being disqualified?” Grappe asked.Prudhomme dismissed such concerns, arguing that it was “everyone’s responsibility” to respect the protocols. PRO CYCLING MANAGER 2020(PC) "Other restrictions include that if a team records two positives in a seven-day period, the entire squad will be thrown out of the Tour.With that level of restriction imposed on the field, meaning the prospect of one mistimed sneeze from a spectator potentially wiping out half the peloton, perhaps it will be a surprise if the Tour even reaches Paris on September 20.What that would mean for European sport's cagey reopening in this pandemic, remains to be seen.We have become accustomed to seeing a Team Sky/Team Ineos train dominating the professional peloton as it trundles through the French countryside and steams up the mountain passes in recent years.Seven of the last eight Tours de France have been won by some iteration of the British team — the only blemish when Chris Froome broke his wrist in 2014.Now, there is serious competition in the form of Jumbo-Visma, lead by former ski-jumper Primoz Roglic and Dutchman Tom Dumoulin.Although competition is undoubtedly a good thing, Team Jumbo-Visma is simply harnessing Team Ineos' tried and tested methods for its own use, powering along with a series of stunningly powerful riders at the front of the peloton to snuff out any possible attacks.And there's no doubt it has worked, with Ineos leader and At the Tour de l'Ain and Criterium du Dauphine, Ineos were completely outclassed by Jumbo Visma, who have been cleaning up during this truncated lead-in to the Tour.Wout van Aert has won Milan-San Remo — the first classic of the year — and Strade Bianche already this season.Meanwhile, Kiwi George Bennett, who will be a key lieutenant for Jumbo-Visma in the Tour, won the Gran Piemonte to show off his impressive form.Jumbo-Visma has, admittedly, suffered a significant setback with Steven Kruijswijk's injury ruling him out of the Tour party.It will also have to deal with the two-leader issue that has dogged Ineos/Sky in recent years, with Roglic and Dumoulin both vying for general classification honours.Ineos' problem has been solved in that regard though, as team leader Sir Tom Brailsford fills his Tour de France basket with an Egan Bernal-shaped egg — with last year's Giro champion Richard Carapaz in support, Yes, such are the embarrassments of riches afforded to cycling's dominant team that despite leaving riders who have won six of the last 14 grand tours between them out in the cold, they can still produce a team featuring winners of two of the last three.
