Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 1: Florence (Firenze) - Rimini, 206.0k

What a legendary ride by Romain Bardet. My god how beautiful

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Awesome.

Today therefore is 8000000x the stage that that piece of garbage was. We got a victory for romance over pragmatism even despite Vaughters' pathetic display of spite.

 

[Simurgh]

What a splendid effort and a well-deserved victory!

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Not worth it.

Now we don’t know that. If they had raced it correctly then the race could’ve been different.

 

[scribers]

They pulled it off. Unbelievable

Bardet having to sprint to get past his team mate lmao

Deserved win and yellow jersey for Bardet, great teammate work from Van den Broek.

Van Aert useful for Vingegaard as he took 4 bonus seconds away from Pogačar.

 

[solo80k]

Great job, congratulations!

 

[RedheadDane]

Made a huge difference that it was two teammates up front.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Congrats Romain, well earned yellow jersey.
Of course Wout wins the sprint.

Bardet? Sprint?

That probably was what passes for a sprint in Romain Bardet's world, admittedly.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bit silly for Pogacar to be sprinting there. Bit unnecessary

Glad Bardet won and gets yellow. Might lose it tomorrow but hopefully not

Surely there's no shame in going for comparatively gettable bonus seconds?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Time limit 49'10"

Where's Cav at? PCS just crapped out on me

 

[Nick2413]

Van Aert looking better than some expected, glad to see it.

 

[nightowl]

YESSSSSSSSSS I thought they were for sure getting caught but that was incredible, perfect way to start the Tour

 

[Valv.Piti]

GG motos

[Tim Cahill]

Where's Cav at? PCS just crapped out on me

34, should make it, lot of downhill

 

[Breezy1985]

VdB is the new WvA/VdP 🤣

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Definitely one of the oddest stage 1’s I’ve ever watched.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Love the big smiles on Bardet and van den Broek

 

[DenisMenchov]

Oh my God. I'm so happy. This literally brought tears to my eyes. Something I never thought I'd see in my life. BARDET IS IN YELLOW.


BARDET IS IN YELLOW AT THE TOUR

One of the greatest moments in cycling history. Chapeau Bardet!
