There is a lot to discuss about the way this has been handled, but assuming they are doing so in a COVID-safe way (masking, distancing, being as vaccinated as possible, staying in appropriate accommodation, planning to eat privately instead of in local public spaces, etc), what about the riders themselves attending shows poor judgement?
No comment on the cancellation/un-cancellation or the apparent exclusion of some riders - I don’t pretend to understand how this situation came to be, so best that I don’t speak on that. But again, assuming they are following all appropriate protocol, I don’t understand why riders who are able to go are showing poor judgement.
