He Tour de France He lived quietly this Tuesday. It was a stage where, I think, the riders in the race agreed not to attack each other. The sprinters barely made it past the last ten kilometers, on a calm day for the important men.
It was in the latter part when the emotion was concentrated. There were a lot of crashes because people weren’t penalized too much and tried to go faster in the sprint, with guys who on other days wouldn’t normally enter it because they came with that penalty. Fortunately, despite the fact that some falls were spectacular, those affected did not appear to be hurt.
The favorites they became calm, as if not in the race. The leader even went to the wheel at the back of the pack, without worrying about cuts or breakaways. The general candidates are committed to the stage this Wednesday, at the start of the Pyrenees.
Among the Spaniards it was seen Luis Leon Sanchez at the head of the pack in the sprint, something atypical in stages of this style. They were also easy, just like everyone else. We passed two stages of Basque Country.
Tomorrow the favorites should reappear. They will have to follow the race with their teams and each other to see what happens. This is a moderate mountain stage at Pyreneeswith the Tourmalet hiding on thursday. The lull is over and the battle returns with a very decisive phase.
