As if the protesters needed any more encouragement.

So, "We decided that if there is an incident, we would try to neutralize the race and then that would be it because in the end racing to an undefined finish line is not really fair sport," Haig said.

I have been watching the Tour of Norway, won by IPT. There was just one protester on the stage 4 circuit.
It surprised me, given that northern folk are usually hot on socio-political topics.

I am now watching the Tour of Limousin.

Aiming for a proper finish today although it looks odd as they haven't been able to put up the usual barriers etc. due to the wind. There also looks like very little in the way of spectators so maybe questioning whether it would finish up there has stopped any protestors turning up. The whole area is also burnt to a crisp from recent wildfires.
