while others are roaming around italy and norway for the next three days, there are also intrepid adventurers exploring the wilds of france. technically this is a four-day race, though there is only live video for Stages 1-3, as the race started with a 5.4km mostly flat Prologue which was won by that well-known time trial specialist, Benoit Cosnefroy.
the remaining three stages have some small bumps, but nothing to write home about.
the overall winners of the last three editions were
2023 lazkano
2022 ben-thom
2021 demare
(btw, a certain mvdp won this race in 2017 and 2018)
this is a race that comes down to seconds separating first from second.
