Surprise in Copenhagen: Van Aert and Ganna beaten

Surprise in the first stage of the Tour de France started today from Copenhagen with an individual time trial of 13 km.

Along the streets of the Danish capital, with rain as the protagonist for a good part of the test, everything suggested a clash between the greats of the specialty. And instead Yves Lampaert , thanks to an improvement in weather conditions, mocked the specialists with a super performance at almost 52 km / h on average and closing with a time of 15'17 "ahead of compatriot Wout Van Aert (15'22") and Tadej Pogacar (15'24 "). The Belgian of Quick Step, former national time trial champion, is the first yellow jersey of the Tour.

Disappointment for Filippo Ganna : the world champion finished with a delay of ten seconds: after the race it became known that Pippo ran the second part of the time trial with a puncture in the rear wheel. Excellent performance also for Mathieu Van der Poel , fifth, and Mads Pedersen , sixth. The Dane, 15 seconds behind, will thus be able to fight to wear the yellow jersey in the next two stages still scheduled at home.

Among the other men of good ranking Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard , Adam Yates , Geraint Thomas and Aleksandr Vlasov defended themselves. Badly, and already separated by several seconds, Jack Haig, Damiano Caruso, Ben O'Connor and Enric Mas .
