The French Cyclist Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick Step) took the first stage of the Tour de France this Saturday, between Brest and Landerneau over 197 kilometers, in an authoritative final sprint as world champion, while the suspense remained seven kilometers behind in the second of two serious falls of the platoon.
Alaphilippe attacked two kilometers from the finish, in the middle of the short but intense climb that decided the first winner and yellow jersey. The Gaul won without discussion ahead of Michael Matthews (Team BikeExchange) and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), podium of a group of 50 riders cut seven kilometers earlier.
A hard fall at maximum speed, the consequences of which are yet to be seen and which caused the second pileup of the day. At 40 kilometers from the finish, a spectator, in her eagerness to appear on TV or in a photograph, put her poster and half a length on the narrow road through which the peloton was coming. Tony Martin (Jumbo-Visma) was the first to crash and after him a tremendous pileup.
