And another piece of paper, what am I saying, an ode to the first hour of the race, in which we fight relentlessly to take the right breakaway, pafois in vain.

A real poetic story - written by my boss so I have to say it's great, yes, that's where we get to keep our job in 2020 ... (sad smiley).

Lol aside, we have some reading for you before the actual start of the live.

Starting with the most offensive Frenchman in the peloton, who is also fed up with being reduced to the famous slogan: “ATTAQUE DE PIERRE ROLLAND”.

The anticipated stage:

nervous first hour padlocked by the Bora de Sagan for the green jersey.

As usual, the Slovakian sprinted hard but was overtaken by Matteo Trentin ten meters from the line in what constitutes the best running-gag of this Tour 2020. After that, we let the riders go far in the general standings. , including Alaphilippe, Rolland and Cosnefroy, whose polka-dot jersey hangs by a thread - Pogacar is two points away.

With them, always the same Soler, Hirschi, Herrada, Powless, Skujins, De Gendt and company.

Despite the bonuses at the top of the Saint-Nizier climb, the leaders let slip and get on the Jumbo-Visma train for once human, but despite everything too sustained for Pinot, dropped in the only big difficulty of the day.

"I miss my goats", he concedes at the end of the stage.

Hell continues for cycling France as Alaphilippe will once fail to jump into the wheel of the future winner, in this case the formidable De Gendt, who signs his third career success on the Tour. 

Here we are !

The peloton attacks the third and final week of the Tour de France.

Sunday, we will be on the Champs and we will know who from Roglic or Pogacar will parade in yellow in the most beautiful city in the world.

Before Wednesday's queen stage, culminating in the arrival at the Col de la Loze, the riders will take a mid-mountain stage.

On the program, very little flat and also few climbs which really hurt.

Not sure that the favorites make the clowns today given the monstrosity of the chain Madeleine-Loze which awaits them Wednesday.

But you never know.

We are never safe from an attack by Tadej Pogacar.
