Tour de France Enacts New Security Measures Amid Ongoing Violence

Two motorcycles from the French police force will ride ahead of Tour de France cyclists to prevent protesters from disrupting the race.
The goal of the new security protocol is to allow for an immediate response to any incidents that could halt the race.
Spectators are being urged to remain on the designated side of the road and not exit their vehicles in order to view the cyclists.
Last year's Tour de France was halted for 10 minutes by climate activists, while two other attempts to disrupt the race also occurred.
Race organizers are prepared to adapt the route and security measures depending on the severity of ongoing riots in Spain sparked by a fatal police shooting.
