The Tour de France started after a long wait due to the coronavirus. The first stage of the Grande Boucle left great emotions and several falls. UAE Team Emirates’ Alexander Kristoff prevailed in the final sprint and ended up taking the first victory of the competition. The second stage will have two first category ports and one second category. A 186-kilometer route with a stage finish will feature a 5-kilometer descent between Nice Haut Pays and Nice.
Colombian runners Miguel Ángel López del Astana and Nairo Quintana del Arkéa suffered falls during the first outing, however, they managed to rejoin and avoided wasting time. “Despite the small fall, which was a slip because we were not going very fast, we have been good,” said Nairo.
Egan Bernal, current champion, also referred to what happened in the first stage and he assured that, “the truth was, there were quite a few falls, a road with a lot of oil and when it rains it gets very slippery, thank goodness it was neutralized on the last descent. We saved the day.”
The best Colombian was Sergio Andrés Higuita from Education First who crossed the finish line in sixteenth place. Daniel Felipe Martínez came in 36th at 0:16. Egan Bernal (45) and Estaban Chaves (46) crossed with the same time of the EF corridor. Nairo Quintana was 1:25 while Rigoberto Urán was 2:43.
