Tour de France. What do we remember from the second week of competition in Wielka Ptla?

When one of the Polish cyclists fights with his own weaknesses and criticism of the fans, another of the consequences results from the tasks he was involved in (which, incidentally, also lacks understanding to the cycling supporters). Of course, I'm talking about Michał Kwiatkowski, who – like last year – is also responsible for setting up the Sky tactical team in the final installment of the Tour de France. It is Kwiato who at key moments dictates the pace of the entire pack, and that is Kwiato who, when necessary, takes the brunt of the key parts of the race. The action, such as she was initiated at La Rosière, when she imposed a crazy pace of the alley, eliminating the majority of rivals from the battle and opening the road to Geraint Thomas at the time. Decisive attack, may be one of the most beautiful cycling stories of recent years. Who knows (although he is still far from the finish line), will not the fate of the race be settled here? Granted, however, this attack would be crucial for the image of the second week of the extraction. The next day, at Alpe d'Huez (step 12), he will repeat this maneuver, breaking the leader group at the beginning of the driveway and leaving the effect of his work to watch Egan Bernal. On the short and strong climb under Mende (on the 14th stage), the scenario would be similar and numerous proofs that Team Sky's patent for having won the Tour de France is largely based on the talent and the titanic work of Kwiatkowski, who prepares the most important stages of arenas for the final battle.

And for the lack of emotions – especially on the scenes of Gąski – complains this year, we absolutely can not. Stage 11, from Albertville to La Rosière, one of the most interesting odysseys of the Tour de France in recent years. In benefit of the fact that before the last climb, less than 30 kilometers before the finish line, the stage seems to be losing to Team Sky: Umkn Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) before him, the initiative seems to be on the side of Bahrain-Merida team. The Team Sky action initiated by Kwiatkowski is crowned by the victory of Geraint Thomas, the leader's t-shirt and the double lead – with Christopher Froome – in the overall standings of the race. At the 12th stage, perhaps not exciting, but also passionately passionate about fighting, at the top of Alpe d'Huez, we witnessed an almost sprint finish. The fight, whose fan was eliminated by supporter Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), is finally played between Thomas and Froome with Team Sky, Romain Bardet (AG2R), Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) and Mikelem Land (Movistar). He will resurface Thomas, but it is better to know how busy she was at the finish line. At the highest Greek premium (HC), more than 175 kilometers traveled and after a climb of nearly 14 kilometers, with an average slope of 8.2%. We have not seen this for a long time.
