Jordi Martí, president of Junts in the Barcelona city council, formally made this request to the mayor, emphasizing the importance of the Catalan language playing a prominent role in an internationally renowned event like the world's most significant cycling race.

The political group has submitted a series of questions to the municipal government to ascertain their plans regarding the use of Catalan during the Tour's departure. Martí expressed concern, citing precedents such as the Cursa de la Dona (Women's Race), which was conducted entirely in Spanish, as an example of linguistic management that does not reflect the city's reality.

Furthermore, Junts has requested clarification on the presence of Catalan in the event's official communications and the nature of any linguistic agreement established with the Tour de France organizers. They also seek to know what initiatives the city council plans to implement to ensure that Barcelona's linguistic reality is adequately reflected during the race's celebration.
