The French cycling spectacular, the Tour de France, is back for 2021, less than a year after the 2020 race went ahead against all odds.
What happened in the 2020 Tour de France?
In mid-April 2020, President Macron banned large-scale public events in France to try and combat the spread of Covid-19 during the first wave of the virus. It meant La Grande Boucle, as it’s known among fans, had to be postponed from its scheduled dates of 27 June to 19 July to 29 August to 20 September.
