I think I just heard that no FRA rider has won on Jul 14 since 2000...
15:11 - No Red, White & Blue Finishing Straight...
Gap hosted the stage finish of the Tour in 2003 on 14 July. On the day of Alexandre Vinokourov’s first victory in the race, the finishing straight was painted red, white and blue. That’s not the case for this stage on Bastille Day.
Nice to see RSH take a stage win. Go the Paulinho!
And RSH is now back in 2nd place in the Team category, 31” behind CAISSE D’EPARGNE.
