The Last Guy TdF26-68
The day was marked by multiple attempts to form a breakaway all inspired by the Frenchmen in the peloton. The French always hope to win on Bastille Day, but it wasn't in the cards or in their legs today. The last guy from the breakaway was the Spaniard Javier Romo riding for the Spanish team Movistar. That didn't stop the French fans from waving their flags and cheering on the lone rider as he started down the Cote de Murat. I should point out that a French man was able to claim third on the stage, Paul Seixas, who is continuing to live up to all of the faith the French public has put in the 19 year old.
