Tour de France Stage 1 Highlights | Crashes, Chaos & An Epic Final Climb!

The race kicked off with a stage that, looked like a perfect opportunity for a rider like Julian Alaphilippe or Mathieu Van Der Poel to take yellow. The elevation profile shows that there isn’t a flat road in sight between Brest and Landerneau on this testing first stage. Over the course of the 198km-long route the riders will be faced with 3,200m of climbing and no less than six categorised ramps - a rather rude awakening to a race that’s known for easing riders in slowly.
