An Iconic Moment TdF26-159
I can only imagine what it would be like to race up the Champs Elysees towards the l'Arc de Triomphe off the front of the peloton. This duo with the Frenchman Thibault Guernalec (TotalEnergies) and the Spainard Xabier Mikel Azparren (Pinarello-Q36.5) had built up fifty seconds on the peloton before they all turn right at the top of the rise. Next on the menu was the three loops that include the climb up to the summit of Montmartre. I wonder if they will still be off the front by the time they ride pass Sacre Coeur?
