Tour De France: 23,000 Police To Be Deployed


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

The French government is to deploy 23,000 police to guard the 2016 Tour de France over fears the event could be used by extremists to stage a major terrorist attack.

French special forces will patrol the route and be visible at landmarks and religious sites to maintain vigilance and identify suspicious behaviour.

The exceptional security measures are being introduced as France continues to exist in a state of emergency following Islamist attacks in Paris last November that left 130 people dead.

I have always been a huge fan of this race, I hope nothing happens.
