I shot this clip while en route to the start of Stage 6 last week.
It shows how different we are from the NFL-MLB-NHL-NBA where the players enter the stadium through a separate entrance and park in a secure compound under heavy guard.

This is a Tinkoff rider in full kit with number pinned and everything behaving like a normal person.

Had to shoot it.
