Protestors at the Tour de France

Climate activists forced a 10-minute delay during the 10th stage of the Tour de France after trying to stop riders on the road.

The race was paused 36km from the finish as the protestors sat on the road, with one of them wearing a t-shirt saying “We have 989 days left”.

The activists were eventually removed by police.

Stage leader Alberto Bettiol rode through a cloud of pink from a flare before stepping down from his bike.

Following a 10-minute delay, race director Christian Prudhomme cleared the race to resume.

“Since the government doesn’t care about the climate crisis, we need to come and take over the Tour de France to refocus attention on what matters for our survival,” said climate activists movement Derniere Renovation in a statement.

“We need to make our government react as they lead us to the slaughterhouse.”
