A coup of authority in the first high end of the Tour de los enmascarados.

Triumph of

, one of the most qualified candidates, in the Alpine resort of Orcières-Merlette, where

signed an anthological feat in 1971. Tribute of the 'Grande Boucle' to the great and unfortunate Spanish climber on a day in which the general classification was somewhat screened.

Goodbye, locomotives;

hello climbers.

High altitude cycling on premature ramps: never in the history of the Tour de France has an in-line stage had a high end in the first four days of competition.

[Narration and classifications]

On a seven-kilometer ascent, with an average slope of 6.7%, ideal for climbers with a good top speed, such as

,

or

, the solid pedaling of Roglic stood out, which prevailed in a date dominated by excess of conservatism.

Another day in which the adventurers

,

and

put the excitement of the getaway on duty, neutralized in the first ramps of the Alpine pass.

A group of 50 runners, with all the favorites attentive, marched to the top with the rhythm set by high-class squires, such as

,

or

.

The Jumbo took the lead, but without accelerating too much until the last kilometer, where Roglic,

,

and

fought for the victory and to unseat Alaphilippe from the leadership.

Mission impossible, because this type of arrival perfectly adapts to the characteristics of the French.

In that fight to shine on the first alpine peak, Roglic was the most determined and did not hide his ambitious intentions.

His goal is the first place on the podium in Paris.

"I think we will see interesting things in the fight for the general. At the moment there are many well-positioned people. I would not know how to identify a main rival right now. All of us who are there have good legs and we cannot discount anyone," Bernal said in a day on which the deed of Ocaña was recalled on July 8, 1971.

So cycling was more unpredictable, more beautiful.

Then, Priego's cyclist humiliated

with an anthological getaway.

The Cuenca, who had seen the Cannibal falter, ordered to attack

with 100 kilometers to go and left after him to start a legendary ride.

The Spaniard appeared at the finish line with an 8.42 minute lead over the Belgian.

The second classified,

, surpassed him in 5.52 and left 61 runners out of control, who were later replayed by the organization so as not to be left with a tiny peloton.

"The emperor, shot", he titled 'L'Equipe'.

"I bow to Ocaña. He has subjected us all, like El Cordobés in the bullring," said the Belgian.

When the Spaniard had the Tour won, he ran into that damn fall in Menté.

Cruel fate for the heartbroken Cuenca.

They were different times.
