Abhishek - Hopefully there isnt much further to climb up than what we'll have at the end of this month 
New Record Winner: Mr. TDF
Pierre-Henri Lecuisinier wins the Tour de France for a record breaking third time. Previously he shared the record with Silvio Herklotz, Andy Schleck, Angel Madrazo and Simon Spilak who all won the race twice.
The race started with a shocker on the opening stage where Lecuisinier lost two minutes on the peleton on a flat stage with no meaningful action. Afterwards, we were able to see a clinical exercise of winning the race with the least effort possible. Behind a strong Evonik team, Lecuisinier looked in control of his main rival throughout the race but only took over the yellow jersey on stage 16 in Alp d'Huez when he climbed the famous turns quicker than everyone else and secured his only stage win of this year's Tour.
A particular shoutout goes to Tobias Foss and Pascal Eenkhoorn who did valuable work in the mountains in support of Lecuisinier while also securing themselves a top 20 GC result.
A Big Thank You To All MG Reporters! |
