When something like present is said that the tour was the tour was for days like today, in a first phase that has been all but calm and in what cases it has become noticeable. A first stage of 184.9 kilometers with Home and final in the city of Lille. ‘Pippo’ ganna-, where some deadly has saved the fall that seems pointless -with REMCO evenEPOEL going to green-, where other cyclists called to do good things kissed the attack -how of O’Connor,, where there were absurd accidents and where there were runners who did not show their best face -case of Simon Yates, Lenny Martínez or Julian Alaphilippe– and where is Danish Jonas Vingegaard He applied the maximum where the best defense was a good attack, which was glued to his tire the slovenian Tadej Pogacar.
And in the middle of all this maelstrom, the sprinter figure appeared at the end Jasper Philipsen. Belgian (27 years) is the fastest in long line of 1.3 kilometers final, after colleagues such as Van der poel sand empty for her and then closes a little incidental Girmay. Great success of Philips, the tenth and the tour of France, which also serves as the first leader of the race.
A success that began to be established 17 kilometers from the end line, if the self Vingegaard To man he went to action and in his motion, which was the second of his companions Bennot and Jorgenson This caused a huge cut, 36 runners remained in the first group, including Pogacar and a helpful Enric Mas, while behind them Roglic, evenePoel or Carlos Rodríguezthat they will eventually end up losing 3 seconds in the end line with respect to Pogacar and Vingegaard, At first of his mistakes and his teams.
Jasper Philipsen It reached a speed of 71.46 km/h in sprint in Lille. A performance that makes first sprinter take a yellow jersey Alexander Kristoff In 2020!
Of a tense day, typical of a first stage of tour de france no simple, with three promotions in three small sizes, where Vingegaard He was awake when he first passed one of them, nothing better to avoid incidents, where many waterfalls took place, where Pogacar and Vingegaard They have already displayed their first letters and where the tour lottery is re -displayed. And the brightest example has lived Enric pa. The leader of Movistar She was ready and that was sliced into the beautiful cut at the end, but 4.1 kilometers from the end line saved a fall next to her miraculously where she could do a lot of harm. Now in Artà He is expensive, not to others. Tomorrow, more.
