True I cant believe Bardet or Pinot have never won any WT stage race
It is.
Pinot came quite close in Dauphine 2020, but then... well...
And to add insult to injury - or more insult to the insult? - about the whole thing:
Alaphilippe won California in 2016... the year before it became a WT race.
Sivakov won Pologne in 2019... when he was still Russian.

With the developments on stage 1, there is a chance that either Vauquelin or Grégoire could become the first Frenchman to win a WT stage race in ....
... 18 YEARS!

Vauquelin and Grégoire last seen bickering back and forth as to who should pull as Almeida extends the gap, comical scenes, perhaps a microcosm.

I think he just tries to win the race, that post notwithstanding.
The population of Slovenia is approximately equal to the population of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. Maybe Paris and Slovenia should have a population exchange.
Only problem is Pog lives in Monaco.The population of Slovenia is approximately equal to the population of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. Maybe Paris and Slovenia should have a population exchange.

Slovenia has produced one rider that won a TdF.The population of Slovenia is approximately equal to the population of the 20 arrondissements of Paris. Maybe Paris and Slovenia should have a population exchange.
France has produced 21 riders.
That being said I do love a map of paris that shows the arondissements.

Yes, but on average France is producing a TdF winner every 6 years. Slovenia producing one every 120 years. You're confusing weather with climate.
France has never won a WT stage race. Slovenia has 4 different riders who have each won at least 2 different WT stage races.

Tony Gallopin had 36 seconds over Richie Porte before the last stage (ITT) of 2015 Paris-Nice.
Thibaut Pinot had 34 seconds over Geraint Thomas and 47 seconds over Simon Spilak before the last stage (ITT) of 2015 Tour de Suisse.
What could go wrong?

When I'm about to head to work, I'm more concerned about the weather than the climate.
Somehow, I think Slovenia feels happier about their current TdF situation than France does.
