- Chronicle.Kristoff reigns in a chaotic premiere by the rain
Philippe Gilbert (Lotto-Soudal) has left the Tour de France after medical tests confirmed that he suffers a fractured patella in his left knee, while Spaniard Rafa Valls (Bahrain-McLaren) has also dropped out for a fracture in the right femur.
The rough initial stage of the Tour ended with Gilbert's participation due to an injury already known to him, since in the 2018 Tour de France the same kneecap was broken after a fall in the descent of the Portet d'Aspet.
In addition, the Lotto-Soudal team also suffers the abandonment of John Degenkolb , who came out of control after being involved in another severe fall that forced him to travel the last 65 kilometers of the stage alone and in pain.
For his part, Rafa Valls also went to the ground, in his case three kilometers from the finish, and medical tests confirmed the fracture in his right leg, so Mikel Landa lost an important gregarious for this Tour.
