EF Education-Easypost announced two weeks ago to leave for the Tour de France. Richard Carapaz – last year the winner of the Bolletjestrui and this year already third in the Giro d’Italia – had to let the biggest competition of the year go due to a gastrointestinal infection.
Thymen Arensman is just next to the day win, winning in a heavy Tour ride is for Simon Yates; Ben Healy takes yellow
But the American team does not break the lack of the Olympic champion of Tokyo. As well as the failure of the Dutch sprinter Marijn van den Berg. Healy is one of the big men of the first Tour half with a stage victory and yellow. That unexpected success of the Irishman was celebrated on Monday evening before the day of rest.
Freed From Desire
EF Education-Easypost shares a video of the pink EF bus in a parking lot on social media. You can see that the glass beer is distributed by the teammates and staff members, after Healy has already uncorked the champagne. Then Healy – just like in the past cult football player Will Grigg – is sung on the tones of Freed From Desire. “Healy is on fire. Breakaway is Terrified.“
His Danish teammate Michael Valgren Hundahl – winner of the Amstel Gold Race in 2018 – also indicated that he would hope for fries in the Danish press. “We said for the tenth stage that if it were going well, the bus driver would drive us through a drive-Thru. I think that yellow is satisfactory.” Whether that trip is also made is not known.
