Stage to remember that this has been experienced Sunday, July 7 at the Tour de Francein the dreaded and long-awaited ninth stage of the race, of 199 kilometers and in the always uncertain sections of dirt, the famous ‘sterrato’, the gravel that all cycling fans are talking about, that challenged the runners a total of 32 kilometers, divided into 14 attractive sections.
14 sections that offered a great show and that brought all the fans to their feet on their feet at home, who were very pleased to hit the Remco Evenepoel and Tadej Pogacar and to the always effective response of Team Visma of Jonas Vingegaardwho again passed with flying colors a new G examRande Boucle. The party would have been full if Spanish cycling had celebrated the success of Alex Aranburubut to MOvistar Team He fell and eventually had to settle for fourth.
The stage setting lent itself to one of cycling’s most memorable days, marked by classic flavor and the appeal of sterrato. Understandably there are those who don’t like it, but no one can deny its appeal. A scenario where Pogacar, Evenepoel and Vingegaard They gave a recital and showed their quality and the reason for their classification in the general classification. Evenepeol was especially active. The Belgian delivered one of the most violent whips of the stage, 77 kilometers from the finish line, in Cote de Chacenay, all the favorites were surprised by his movement. Hechief of Soudal, 2nd overall, took a few meters. It took Pogacar a while to jump for him, but he did, with Vingegaard at his wheel. The double champion of the Tour de France, Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacarthey reached the height of Remco Evenepoel after a big hot flash.
The day continued. At the front, eight escaped, including Aranburu and Romo of them, followed by another group in which he was present Mathieu Van der Poel who didn’t quite see the moment to jump and the group of celebrities, who could see Pogacar’s attempt 21.9 kilometers from the finish line. I’m looking for the winner of the sterrato classic Jaén Interior Paradise and of two editions of Strade Bianche a trademark attack. SA Vingegaard It was difficult for him, but he reached his height and so on Evenepoel, that caught him out of place and that he still has by his side a squire of guarantees like Mikel Landa.
In the end, the top eight positions remained intact after a great thriller, which sometimes had overtones of drama and which brought great joy to French cycling in the legs of Anthony Turgiswhich gave French cycling its third stage victory in nine days played, after being the smartest and strongest of those who escaped the finish line of Troyes.
After about two minutes, their faces and bodies were marked with dust, but feeling like they had experienced an exciting day of cycling, the big favorites arrived.
This Monday, more than ever, is the first well-deserved rest day for everyone.
