What a first episode of Tour de France that we lived. The winner of the last two editions Jonas Vingegaard It’s been great, awesome. He held his own and was ahead of his teammates in the peloton. Tadej Pogacar was tried. He placed his colleagues UAE Team Emirates Let’s see how Vingegaard responded and what was surprising was seeing him there in front of him. The first test Vingegaard had a very good time, now let’s wait for Tuesday at Galibier.
It was a wonderful, controversial and exciting episode. both The DSM team riders, Bardet and Van den Broek, They had a heroic ending. They arrived and seemed to be late which made the spectators nervous but they crossed the finish line first and Bardet took the lead. Of course, today’s episode is highly contested. I can’t remember any stage of the Tour being held like it is now. The Tour is the Tour. See if not Mark Cavendish what he suffered. There were almost 40 minutes left and a little more outside the time allowed to complete the stage.
The Spanish have been good, too Herrada, García Pierna or Ion Izagirre being the protagonist in the beginning and companion Aranburu and Bilbao coming from the top six.
It has become a stage for cycling enthusiasts. No one could have expected a Tour stage like it was held today. Many expected the attack Pogacar. He didn’t do it. He made the team shoot and then called it quits. It became a very important stage for the Tour, because Vingegaard He was with the best and never had a moment of lethargy. We will experience a very competitive Tour and Tuesday’s stage will be key.
I still think that sounds weird Pogacar did not try anything, when in the first stage of Italy is spinning He took 2nd and got angry. What’s going on at the Tour to Pogacar, what’s different?
The ending was magnificent, in the match between the two teammates, Bardet and Van den Broek, so they don’t get caught and win the stage. What roots. They kept looking back. I repeat, this stage is one that the fans do and shows that the Tour is a Tour, whether it is held in Italy or when it comes to Barcelona in 2026. It’s a show.
Tomorrow is a leg-breaking stage. There will be getaways, but I think we will come in a big group.
