"Tour de France organisers have edited what was set to be an enthralling
day in the Alps to avoid cow culling taking place near the stage 19 route.
The discovery of a contagious disease amongst cattle has meant the route
will be shortened from 129.9km to just 95km with two climbs – the 11.3km
Cote d’Hery-sur-Ugine and the 13.7km Col des Saisies – removed.
An outbreak of nodular dermatitis meant the affected herd has needed to
be culled and race organisers have taken the decision to divert the
route in light of “distress” amongst those farmers concerned."

Ah I shall watch later today probably the catch-up though depending on how
much shorter might watch the entire show.

My brain finds watching sports more exhausting than doing said sports!
Can't be half as exhausting as having to kill all your cows.
