Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard celebrating his first Tour de France victory in Paris in 2022

The slowest and the fastest Tour de France

You might wonder which Tour de France edition was the slowest and wich one the fastest. Here you have the answer. The slowest Tour de France was the 13th edition, held between 29th June and 27 July in 1919. The 5560 km long route of the race was  divided into 15 stages. (And it wasn’t even the longest ever edition.) Because the First World War ended only a few months earlier, most of the cyclists had not enough possibility to train. Routine and experience of how to ride a Tour de France mattered, no wonder, that mostly the older riders dominated the race. On the other handy the international elite peloton suffered devastating personal losses:… Read More »The slowest and the fastest Tour de France

Moments to remember: Pogacar and Vingegaard arrive on the top of Peyragudes together

On a mountain stage of  Tour de France, anything can be epic. There is a moment, especially in the Pyrenees, when the finishline is already shown from a camera behind the finish. And the riders are emerging from the big nothing. On the 17th stage of Tour de France 2022, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), the rider in the yellow jersey and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), the defending champion, who is currently wearing the white jersey, arrived together on the top of Peyragudes, the last climb of the day. Although Vingegaard launched an attack first, Pogacar outsprinted him and won the stage. Nevertheless, the day started for the UAE Team Emirates far from ideal. In fact,… Read More »Moments to remember: Pogacar and Vingegaard arrive on the top of Peyragudes together

Moments to remember: Jonas Vingegaard takes the yellow jersey

Tour de France returned to the Col du Granon after 36 years and made history again. In 1986, when the climb was included into the program of Tour de France for the very first time, five-time winner Bernard Hinault lost the yellow jersey. His teammate, Greg LeMond took it over and won the general classification that year. The 11th stage of Tour de France 2022 promised great moments from the very beginning of the day, when Wout van Aert (Jumbo -Visma) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) escaped together. What a breakaway duo, everyone said. But since then so many  extraordinary things happened( f. e. Mathieu van der Poel abandoned the race), that these few… Read More »Moments to remember: Jonas Vingegaard takes the yellow jersey
