Tour de France 2024: Romain Bardet claims first yellow jersey in Stage one

The Hindu  

Romain Bardet claimed the first yellow jersey of this year’s Tour de France, and the first of his career, as he won the opening stage of the world’s biggest race following a bold move on Saturday. The Frenchman, who announced his retirement for June next year and is twice a Tour podium finisher, attacked 50km from the line and benefited from sterling, selfless work by his DSM–Firmenich PostNL team mate Frank van den Broek to cross the line five seconds ahead of Belgium’s Wout van Aert. Ireland’s Ben Healy tried his luck solo from the bunch but was not able to bridge the gap while Bardet and Van den Broek opened a two-minute lead, which they maintained going into the final descent towards Rimini. The EF-Education First team, hoping for a stage win with Italian champion Alberto Bettiol, and the Ineos-Grenadiers upped the pace of the peloton but could not put a big enough dent into Bardet and Van den Broek’s lead. Van den Broek then rode himself into the ground to make sure Bardet would take his fourth stage win on the Tour.
