Leaving the Tour de France for the Tokyo Olympics, Canadian cyclist Michael Woods has swapped one COVID-19 bubble for another
bubble for another. Different hotel, different time zone. Mostly the same riders. And lots of restrictions., the 34-year-old from Ottawa is not yet feeling the Olympic vibe. Part of the reason is the road racers are staying in Gotemba, 100 kilometres southwest of Tokyo, to be nearer the course.
Asked if that took away the joy of being at the Olympics, Woods replied: “100 per cent … This literally feels like just I’ve gone to another bike race.” Woods has seen the other side of the Games. In a 2016 column for Cyclingnews.com, Woods enthused about life in Rio. On the plus side, Woods and a colleague made it through the red tape upon landing in Tokyo in just under two hours.
