Stage 1: Utrecht Time Trial #AllezVossi
DISAPPOINTING. HOT. SPECTATORS.
So the Tour de France got underway here in Utrecht today, once again in +30C heat, making the Stage 1 13.8 km Time Trial one of, if not the fastest ever at the Tour. While Vossi enjoyed the huge crowds that flocked to support this Dutch Grand Depart the effects of the heat are clearly visible in his first Selfie of the race. They see a picture paints a thousand words – well, we have just three each day to accompany and we are sorry for our Bora-boy that he’s a bit disappointed back in the bus. However, the good thing about the Tour is, tomorrow is always another day.
