Norwegian cheers at the opening of the Tour de France.

The case is being updated

Alexander Kristoff was the strongest in the sprint and won the spectacular opening stage of this year’s postponed Tour de France in Nice.

This way you will be able to wear the yellow leader jersey on Sunday’s stage.

– Yes, it is also a yellow shirt. I have always dreamed of the yellow jersey and now it is a dream come true. I can’t dream of a better start, says Kristoff after the win.

Rainy weather and many accidents marked the first stage of the Tour de France year, which was characterized by rain and a series of accidents. At the 3-kilometer mark there was a big turnaround that divided the field, but since the turnaround occurred with just under three kilometers to go, the runners will have the same time as the winner.

– I felt strong the last few kilometers. I am very proud to have achieved it, he continues.

Earlier in the stage, last year’s fifth man Julian Alaphilippe, newly crowned European champion Giacomo Nizzolo and Astana captain Miguel Ángel López, among others, capsized. After the latter capsized, with fifty miles remaining, the field calmed down considerably.

The Swiss Michael Schär and the French Fabien Grellier and Cyril Gautier composed the original break today, but they were already brought with 59 kilometers to the end of the last categorized climb.
