The seventh stage of the Tour de France was the longest of all stages of cycling. The 170-degree cyclists measured forces over a distance of 231 km without any significant upsurge. In the first line of departure, besides other leaders in the line of shirts, was the holder of the Toms Skujins royal T-shirt.
At first there was an active struggle for engagement in the dawn. At this point, the numerically important breakthroughs have not been launched for a long time. The will of the Belgian team, "Wanty Groupe Gobert", Joan Ofredo, has been out of the fork for a long time. The 31 year old cyclist proved excellent, but it was clear that a large group would receive the refugee sooner or later. The predominance of 100 kilometers at the finish line was only 1 minute, but after 10 kilometers Ofredo was captured
It should be noted that in the middle of the distance, the group of side winds, such as yesterday, separates. The AG2R La Mondiale and Trek-Segafredo units represented by Skujin were at a great pace. Later, the peletons were joined again. Meanwhile, Laurent Pihon of the French team "Fortuneo-Samsic" went to Solo, which allowed the group to enjoy the title of section chief of more than 40 kilometers. The refugee was made 35 kilometers before arrival.
There was no serious breakdown until the arrival. The best sprinters started a battle for the coming finish. The notable group was also Toms Skujins, whose goal was to get John Degencolumn, the best striker in his clbad. Two kilometers before the finish, Tom was in front of the group.
The fate of the winner was dissolved in a tight finish, in which the best Dutch sprinter Dylan Gruevenweg turned out to be the fastest. The 25-year-old athlete went on the track for 5 hours 43 minutes and 42 seconds. Fernando Gavirija (Quick-Step Floors) and Pieter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) finished third.
John Degencolomb, sprint of the Trek-Segafredo team, finished fifth (+00: 00: 00). Tom Skujins did a lot of work for him. The Latvian who had started in the king's shield in the last two kilometers, had given up all the forces, had lost contact with the leaders and was ranked 138 at the finish (+00: 02: 00). Tom has kept the royal shirt of the mountain.
There was no change in the overall headboard. The leader is Van Avermouth, who has been lagging for six seconds by British athlete Geraints Thomas.
In the eighth stage of the bike, which will take place on Saturday, participants will race at a distance of 181 kilometers without serious heights.
