Accompanied by Yorkshire’s very own Dean and Russell Downing, Le Patron dropped into▨ the English county to sample the roads and atmosphere the pro peloton will receive come J𒈔uly.

This year’s Tour starts with a stage between Leeds and Harrogate, and many, including Hinault, have tipped 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mark Cavendish to win and claim the first yellow jersey of his career. With no prologue and racing on roads he is well accustomed to, Cavendish may never have a better chanc🍨e of pulling on the maillot jaune.

Stage 2 is a far more complex affair, as the route between York and Sheffield scattered with climbs. According to Hinault the route reminds him of the Wallonne region, with its steep ascen﷽t and descents suited to the likes of Peter Sagan and former꧙ world champion Philippe Gilbert.
