It is very hot in France. There is a heat wave. It is 40 degrees in some places. That is hard for the bike riders. The Tour de France is a big race. The riders need rest.
Some hotels for the sports stars are bad. Anders Halland Johannessen shows this online. He shows videos of his room. The room has dirt and spider webs. There is no air cooling system.
Johannessen and his friend sleep outside. They put their beds on the balcony. The air is cool there. Tadej Pogacar had problems too. His hotel was very old. He used mobile tools to stay cool.
The company ASO chooses the hotels. It made the race shorter because of the heat. This never happened in the history of the race.
