A heads up between Filippo Ganna and Wout van Aert? The Italian, reigning world champion, and the Belgian, face each other to win the first yellow jersey of the 2022 Tour de France, on Friday through the streets of Copenhagen (Denmark).
The flat route favors power but includes several technical steps, according to race director Thierry Gouvenou. The rain factor could be decisive if the predictions that point to rainfall over the Danish capital are fulfilled.
