Dear Athletes,
There are only a few days to go until the 2022 event and we at Team L’Etape have been working to ensure a safe experience for all participants of the event and also for visitors and exhibitors in our Village.
See below the safety and prevention measures that will be adopted in all places where our athletes pass.
These protocols and measures have been developed in accordance with industry best practices for cycling outdoor competitions, including World Health Organization (WHO) standards.
We count on your collaboration and see you soon in Briançon.
