France’s Romain Bardet won the first stage of the 2024 Tour de France as he rode from Florence to Rimini in just over five hours.
It was the first time the Tour de France had ever started in the capital of Tuscany, but the riders aren’t done with Italy yet.
Stage 2 of the Tour de France awaits.
The second day of the Tour de France will start in Cesenatico and finish in Bologne. After riding 206 kilometers on the first day, the second day is about as long and has a similar terrain.
While Bardet owns the yellow jersey after the first day, the General Classification picture hasn’t quite formulated but could in Stage 2.
FloBikes reporter Gregor Brown anticipated a strong start from Tadej Pogacar in these opening stages. Pogacar finished Stage 1 in fourth place, 15 seconds behind Bardet, which includes a 10-second time bonus for the stage win.
