As said get the right gear, and certainly Tee shirt and jeans?gtf especially in France summer time.That is let's get the gravel out because it is going to be hot and the tar will melt . That way the gravel will get pressed into the melting tar so that is a road repair done.
I never go out without the proper gear. I have a Hein Gereke air tex jacket, vented front and side, full armour, Hood Jeans , kevlar and armour , summer light weith gloves carbon knuckle gaurds.when it gets to hot bike stays at home.
