The Tour de France. Its 21 stages across beautiful landscapes, even if the hotel rooms leave much to be desired.That was the case for Uno-X Mobilitys Tobias Johannessen and Anders Halland Johannessen, who were given a hotel room that had clearly seen better days.Halland Johannessen shared videos of the hotel room on his X account, which showed cobwebs and looked far from sanitary. Tadej Pogaar calls for radical overhaul of cycling calendar after Tour de France stage shortened due to heatwaveAs a result, the twin brothers took to sleeping on the balcony of their hotel room. Sharing the sleeping arrangement on Instagram, they said: The inside of the hotel: Questionable. The outside: reallyniiiice. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tobias Johannessen (@tobias_johannessen) When rest and recovery are so integral to Tour de France cyclists, the Uno-X Mobility riders hotel might seem a peculiar choice. But the reality is teams have little say in where they stay.Tour de France hotels are provided and booked by ASO, the organisers of the race. All teams are expected to stay in nice hotels and more budget choices, but they must stay in the hotel they are given. This is all in a bid to ensure equality across teams.Uno-X Mobilitys Magnus Cort, who documents where the team stays, shared a more detailed view of the hotel.2 nights in this room and the rest day. We also stayed here two years ago during the tour. And even though it was only 1 night it created memories that last. It has an amazing view and looks pretty good on the outside. But in reality it is amongst the worst places I have stayed, he said.We had a whole apartment that could sleep up to 8 people so Anthon and me couldnt complain about not having enough space. The apartment was in 3 levels with the button being entrances and toilet and bathroom. It wasnt completely soaked this time and only a small smell of rot. We also had the luxury of dry toilet paper. I had a sink in the closet that was nice to have so I didnt have to walk two sets of stairs during the night.It is hard to say much more positive things about this place. It was dirty no aircondition and no WIFI. It was very used with many broken things like the holder for toilet paper and shower head. Even though it was better than last time it will still only get 1 out of 7 stars, Cort added.Uno-X Mobility werent the only team to get a bad booking ahead of the first rest day of the race, and ahead of todays mountainous stage 10 from Aurillac to Le Lioran.Alpecin-Premier Tech stayed in the same hotel and shared an Instagram reel of Silvan Dillier and Tim Marsmans room and wrote, Turns out Tour de France riders dont exactly get the FIFA World Cup treatment.Dillier said the room was in need of renovation, and like Tobias and Anders, he also slept outside. But that was due to the noise of the air conditioning unit.
