When we used to call it Tour d’Italie, do you remember? It wasn’t so long ago: in 2014 Vincenzo Nibali kept the yellow jersey from start to finish, with the only exceptions of Kittel’s first sprint in Harrogate, his debut stage, and of that day in Mulhouse, when he sold it to Tony Gallopin. and so he went on to win on the Planche with the white, red and green of the Italian champion. Tours dominated as in the golden days.
