The first highlight of the Tour de France. “It’s been tough for everyone, I haven’t seen a rider take risks on a downhill since“, a few hours before the presentation of the teams, summed up the Briton Thomas Pid (Ineos).
“We know all the risks of this sport, but when we see them so closely, we begin to wonder a little what we are doing with our lives. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little afraid to go back to the mountains“, for his part, explained the American Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek).
