Sir Rols Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Watching the men’s road race now - looking forward to seeing the circuits around Fuji. But already, gotta say, it’s nice to see crowds along the track. Starting to feel like a games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Crowd not supposed to be there. Defying their government orders Makes a bit of a joke with no crowd in stadiums, yet they are looking sideways here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rols Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 It’s a difficult call, as just about anything is in the age of covid, for the government to make. The alternative would be how the optics would play out - both domestically and internationally - if ranks of police were shown ushering the crowds back and away. My view is is would be hard to begrudge the population a chance to experience and show some enthusiasm for a games there otherwise mostly barred from. I thought it was good and heartening to see.
