The 2018 Tour de France will still start in the Alps today, from Bourg d'Oisans, 29 kilometers from Alpe d'Huez. They will descend the mountains of the Alps to cross Grenoble before heading south-west.
Yesterday, the second consecutive victory of the yellow jersey Geraint Thomas saw the Sky team comforting its two leaders team at the top of the ranking. Which were still heckled by the public. Froome was pushed by a roadside fan and Geraint Thomas received the public's whistles as he climbed onto the podium. The yellow jersey is followed by his teammate in the general (1'39 '') and quite closely by Romain Bardet. Heroic in the Alpe d'Huez, the rider of AG2R la Mondiale returned fifth overall to 3'07 '' Thomas, after the abandonment of Vincenzo Nibali, victim of a fracture vertebrae after a fall in the last 4 kilometers
This is an almost flat course length 169 km that runners will negotiate today, poor in pbades. After the Alps, the finish should be negotiated between the sprinters some of which was forced to abandon yesterday.
