Abstract
Let be a smooth connected linear algebraic group and be a -torsor. Totaro asked: if admits a zero-cycle of degree , then does have a closed \'etale point of degree dividing ? While the literature contains affirmative answers in some special cases, we give an example to show that the answer is negative in general.
