Julian Alaphilippe Didn’t Win this Tour de France. But He Brought the Fireworks.

PARIS — Here is one way to sum up the 2019 Tour de France: after three weeks and 2,000 miles of racing, the richest team in cycling won its seventh Tour de France in eight years on Sunday and pre-race favorite Egan Bernal wore the yellow jersey onto the Champs-Elysées.

All of that is accurate. But to reduce this year’s race simply to its winner would be doing it an enormous disservice, like describing a bicycle as a hatstand with wheels. So here’s another way to sum up this race: this was the most exciting Tour de France in...

Very true...

DePacotilla Lo pensé pero guarde silencio...no quería empañarle el rato a un país que esta muy 😭

Alaphillipe won the Tour de Ineos

friebos what better than 2003?! lol

People who think that of any cycle race will never truly understand cycling in any way shape or form.

agaviriau Q bonito artículo ❤️ “Bernal’s triumph, the first for a rider from cycling-mad Colombia, set off frenzied celebrations more than 5,000 miles away. “

agaviriau Un nuevo mérito para Egan.

Except for the last stage: where was the do or die final kilometers attacks from Buchmann or Kruijswijk to unseat 3rd place? pfft

So fun this year! No overly dominant team, awesome class of sprinters, tons of legit breakaways, Alaphilippe was so tough. Wish Pinot had finished. If Froome is back next year, afraid it will be back to Sky/Ineos dull dominance - Froome, Thomas, Bernal.

This was the best TDF2019 in several years. The cancellation of stage 19 did leave a bad taste in my mouth but they did what they could. Wished the athletes knew while they were on the climb.

So exciting that I watched 0 minutes of it!

Makes me wanna get out and ride my bike as fast as I can!

At least name the winner. Just a simple thought

Everyone still doping? Gave up on this sport years ago.
