After a week spent in the West and a monotonous stage between Fougères and Chartres, the Tour de France crashed into northern France yesterday. That's it, the Tour offers us its pavement and the leaders of the general clbadification will try to upset the hierarchy.
The Tour ventures into the hell of the North, having offered a week of victories to sprinters, including Dylan Groenewegen, who surprised his world by winning the last two stages in Chartres and Amiens. If the peloton manages to arrive en mbade at Roubaix, the sprinters may well have the last opportunity to shine, before the Tour joins the Alps.
