The Australian Kaden Groves won for the first time in the Francia Tour On a day, the penultimate of the gala round, drawn to triumph the escape and that the general will not change. So it was. Tadej Pogacar is already the winner of the tour (Virtual, in the absence of the triumphal walk through the Elysees fields) in a stage without much history.
This penultimate day in the Tour was a very hard stage for cyclists, with rain, with Falls like Iván Romeo'sthat he had a terrible accident when he attacked in the absence of 21 kilometers to go for victory. Romeo went to the ground after being very past in a curve, crashed with a small curb And the blow was very strong. A drama for him and Spanish cycling, which adds almost 50 stages without stage victory in the tour.
The stage was drawn To succeed a leakfar from a chrono or a high mountain day like other editions. That is, the Tour of France wanted his last weekend to have no fight for the general, although that has not really been for several stages, when I'm going to have a Vinggeard in Hautamam.
The Slovenian only has the triumphal walk in Paris to raise his arms definitively in what will be his fourth tour. Vingegaard signed the second place for many daysknowing that he was far from being able to take him to Pogacar the triumph. The third podium position is for Lipowitz. Nothing changed in this penultimate stage between Nantua and Pontarlier.
Thus, the penultimate triumph in the Tour was signed by Groves, a sprinter that was benefited by the fall of Romeo and this atypical half -mountain day, escaped solo from many kilometers before and taking advantage of, since tiredness is noted in all cyclists. The Australian already has victories in the three big laps, something that not everyone can say.
