He had been left ill and forced to retire during the 13th stage of the Tour of Italy.
Good news: Romain Bardet is back in the game.
The Auvergnat announced on Monday its participation in the Tour de France, which will start in Copenhagen on July 1.
A reunion expected since he had not competed in the Grande Boucle in 2021, preferring to focus on the Giro and the Vuelta.
Really excited to announce that I will line up at @LeTour with @TeamDSM.
Can't wait to be at the Grand Depart in Copenhagen in a few weeks @Webex!
