Along lines of Smokey's tennis comment, looks like Tour de France participation this year will require vaccination. New directive just came out from French government. That also applies to said tennis player, who may find himself in a bit of a corner aside from possibly being banned from Aussie for up to three years haha. And Roubaix of course as an earlier race.

Sagan is still welcome to ride in Belgium though and scheduled to do a couple of early spring races.

Interesting vaccination survey by UCI, considering world tour, pro tour and women's world tour Considering all the teams, they estimate that the vaccination coverage of the peloton is currently 82.7%. The range is 40% to 100% depending on team. https://assets.ctfassets.net/761l7gh5x5an/7ykwkC2dG2T5Wy2RdALVC6/02e0780541c6a998600c55ab168ddc9e/Situation_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic_Jan_2022.pdf

I lost where I saw this today but the NY Times had an article that listed every country (~240), current daily cases/100,000, deaths/100,000 and % vaxxed. Also % increase or decrease of both. Obvious there was a lot of random chatter but it also stood out that overall, countries with % vaxxed over 75-80% did far better, especially in deaths. 80% appears to be the population booster number. So while all vaxxes are good, stopping short of 80% is stopping short of doing the job. Like walking into Omicron with just two jabs. (Funny, some smart guys were talking that 80% a year or more ago.) And to stay on topic, that 80% is just graphene tread, not a go-ahead to taker sandy corners at 45+ degree lean.
