Live Tour de France: Tom Dumoulin released | Cycling

sport">The warm-ups to Orcières-Merlette and Mont Aigoual did not yet provide the hoped-for fireworks in this Tour de France. Two arrivals uphill, where there were no major differences between the favorites. With two tough Pyrenees rides on the Tour menu this weekend, nobody can play hide and seek anymore.

sport">Is Jumbo-Visma doing the expected grab for power with Primoz Roglic and Tom Dumoulin? Does yellow jersey wearer Adam Yates show that he is actually a formidable competitor for the overall victory? Is Egan Bernal better than he showed in the first seven days? These are all questions that will be answered in the mountain range between France and Spain.

Thibaut Pinot

sport">In any case, Thibaut Pinot got a painful answer. The French leader of Groupama-FDJ had to release at the Port de Balès, 53 kilometers from the finish.

Tom Dumoulin

sport">Dumoulin expected a tough first Pyrenees stage in advance. “I think that a number of teams in the Pyrenees want to check where they are. Maybe we can too. When opportunities arise, you should seize them. In any case, I feel good and look forward to it. The Pyrenees are not very difficult this year and it only concerns two stages, but I do expect that there will be serious racing, especially today ”, the Jumbo-Visma rider said beforehand.
