DTwo years later: Dylan Groenewegen. The Dutch sprinter won again in the Tour after years relegated to the background. In Dijon, on the same side along the Cavendish, yesterday seemed eternal, He won the cleanest volata of the Tour.
A cyclist who was always marked by the accident that caused him Jakobsen in the Tour of Poland, but he has recovered his fangs and strength in the best race in the world to give a victory to a Jayco that did not know what it was like to win in the World Tour this season.
He won ahead of Philipsen who has lost the magic this season and a Girmay who has become the star at the start after his brilliant victory in Turin. With his peaked glasses and knowing that he is not the most loved in the peloton, Groenewegen once again claims his place in the elite.
Tension with the fans
Cyclists were warned: water at the beginning and side wind from the second half of the stage… and they caught the leader’s team.
About kilometer 80 of the stage, Visma tightened its grip and isolated UAE Team Emirates except for its leader Tadej Pogacar. The yellow jersey was isolated with Red-Bull BORA Hansgrohe, Visma Lease a Bike, INEOS Grenadiers. An unprecedented situation that forced the direct members of the Emirati squad to give a call due to the ‘passivity’ of its cyclists.
“Who is ahead? Is it Tadej? If it’s just Tadej and maybe Pavel (Sivakov)“the team radio reported. After that, the team group recovered its position and protected its leader who had been exposed with Visma pulling.
Once this crisis is solved, Visma tensed again with five to go when the side wind came in again. Ineos passed ahead and Pogacar He stayed behind with his companion. Nothing happened this time, but a lack of intensity and attention can cost a Tour.
