#TDF2024 - Stage 2 recap

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

@writebikerepeat I wondered about this! I guess the race must have just had too many groups, but was quite a surprise when the Evenepoel Express rocked up!

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

@matildaprice_ Very true - still disappointing that none of ITV's eight people involved are women!

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

Thank god someone worked this out!

[Cillian Kelly @irishpeloton]

The last time the first two stages of the Tour de France were both won by a French rider was 1968

It's happening again! #TDF2024

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

@reallyspoketome I always check the stages to see what days I'm inconveniently very busy - how can I keep in touch with the race?!

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

@BenjiNaesen Depends who's in the break though, right? If someone further up than their rider finishes with the DSM rider and they stay awaythe other team would take yellow?

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

Hugely here for this #TDF2024

Also save a thought for Thomas Voeckler, so close to this in 2011 #TDF2024

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

This is wild stat!

[Cillian Kelly @irishpeloton]

Bardet is the first French rider to have finished on the podium of the Tour and worn yellow in his career since Richard Virenque

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

Cav does NOT look well here. Fingers crossed he starts tomorrow! #TDF2024

[Mihai Simion @faustocoppi60]

Mark Cavendish and Fabio Jakobsen's group arrived inside the time limit, almost 40 minutes behind the winner. THERE IS HOPE!

The only person happier than Romain Bardet tonight will be Frank van den Broeck's agent. #TDF2024

@TheBarmyArmy Mind the windows Tino!

@saddleblaze When was it decided that grey is a good colour for a cycling kit? Terrible!

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

This is basically just a full on mountain GC stage on the first day! #TDF2024

[Tom Fish @Tomas_Fish]

Have ALL the Astana team got heatstroke? #TDF2024

[Mihai Simion @faustocoppi60]

❌ The first abandon of the Tour: Michele Gazzoli, one of Cavendish teammates.
