Tour de France. Slab contraction joints should intersect at the openings for columns

The route of the 5th stage of the Tour de France has been changed due to urban development, which will make it dangerous to approach the first slab section on July 6, we learned from the organization.

As a result, the stage distance from Lille Arenberg to Port du Haino, initially 153.7 kilometers, increased by 3.3 kilometers, reaching 157 kilometers.

“Last fall, according to our intelligence, an island was placed on each side of the road, 500 meters away from the entrance on the slabs”race director Thierry Guvenu told AFP what the technicians call a “Lock”in other wordsluxury«.

“This layout has been installed to improve road safety, but it poses safety concerns for the peloton, which will certainly run at high speed as it approaches the first slab section. Entering the first slab is like a finish line “added the director of the race.

The replacement solution consists of this asphalt section, in the section between Wheeler-o-Tertre և Fresen, to the south-east of the Dua (North), in the opposite direction, without changing the total distance of the slabs, which remains 19.4 km.

“Roads are becoming less and less suitable for cycling”Thierry Guvenu stressed that he is worried about the next issues of the Tour and other events.
