Postcard from the Tour de France: on its scale, Saint-Gervais fights against pollution

The fight against the tiger mosquito in France

The Tour de France resumes its rights this Tuesday, July 18. After the traditional rest day, it’s time for the 16th stage. A 22 kilometer time trial between Passy and Combloux, at the foot of Mont-Blanc. A superb setting, but the runners may also be very hot.

Spectators wait at the finish line of the Tour de France in Saint-Gervais, July 16, 2023.
