The 111th edition of the Tour de France officially kicked off in Florence, Italy, with the first leg of the 206km hilly station, and the 206km long route was constantly tried to break through, among which DSM's (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL) Romain Bardet (Romain Bardet) rushed out of the group 50km before the finish line, successfully joined his teammates, and took a 1-2 minute lead. Cheer on the Frenchman. In the final 1km, the two only won by 10 seconds, but they finally managed to hold on to the last minute and crossed the line smoothly, taking the lead for France, and the big group also became the background for them to cross the line.
▲ Xiaobian really likes this kind of double dance crossing scene, after many years finally reappeared, by the 33-year-old French star Barde, and the 23-year-old Dutch teenager Frank van den Broek (Frank van den Broek) to create a surprise scene.
▲ At the moment of crossing the finish line, Bardet and Van den Broek pointed at each other very tacitly and praised each other, which became the most exciting scene of tonight.
DSM Racing had a great evening with a total of single-stage winners, yellow jerseys, green jerseys, white jerseys, and daring prizes, and the driver, who has always been regarded as the hope of France, finally won the Tour de France after seven years, and wore the yellow jersey in the first race!
With three Tour de France titles in the three years from 2015 to 2017, a top 10 finish in the overall standings from 2014 to 2018, two podium finishes (2016 and 2017) and a polka dot jersey in 2019, Bardet is undoubtedly reminding fans of the French glory.
The big group in close pursuit pitted five seconds later, including Pogačar and the other major GC riders.
The first leg was 206km, with a climb of 3600m, which was also a very hard race, and the hilly terrain and hot weather (about 32 degrees) made the sprinters miserable! Cavendis, who everyone is concerned about, was not in good shape as soon as the game started, and the time behind the big groups continued to lengthen, and at one point the gap was more than 30 minutes. However, the DNF time declared by the conference was +45 points, so Cavendish was 39 minutes behind the champions.
