Tao Geoghegan Hart’s show of strength at the Tour of the Alps

Choosing the moment to move, to attack, especially when a stage ends and faces its last meters is key, and this Monday in the outcome of the first day of touring the alps this premise is addressed in the letter. The 42nd edition of the Tour of the Alps started with a tough proposal, not because of the route, 127.5 kilometers, but because of the hardness, because the runners had to face three mountain passes, with the finish alpbach.

6.3 kilometers of climbing at an average slope of 4.6% where the stage will be decided. The first to really move was the EF Education British Runner-EasyPosy Hugh Carthybut one of the Preston he ran out of energy in the last 300 meters. From behind, jump one more Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers)and the London runner passed like a rocket by a Carthy who in the last meter was even overtaken by the Austrian. Felix Gall (AG2R Citroen Team).

This Tuesday Tao will start in the leader’s jersey in the second phase of touring the alps. A day with more mileage, 165.2 kilometers, which does not end on a hill, but features the final climb of the day just 3.9 kilometers from the finish line, in a perfect setting for a good battle that start on the way to Ritten/Renon (Italy).
