Euskaraz irakurri: Thomas Pidcockek atzean utzi ditu aurkariak eta irabazi stage du

the british cyclist thomas pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers) has conquered the Alpe d’Huez this Thursday, in the twelfth stage of the Tour de France departing from Briançon and from 165.1 kilometerswhile there was no trap for the leader jonas vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) in the 21 mythical curves of the French colossus.

Pidcock has been crowned in road cycling and in the elite of the WorldTour with a solo victory attacking his breakaway companions on the Alpe d’Huez, with louis meintjes (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) second and the reborn Chris Froome (Israel-Premier Tech) third.

Among the contenders for the final victory, after the very tough previous stage and the incessant mutual attacks between the Jumbo-Visma of Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), there have been no attacks or strategies and they have reached the finish line together, so the Dane is still in yellow.

This Friday the thirteenth stage will leave the Alps for the journey that will unite Le Bourg D’Oisans with St Etienne via 192.6km undulating, with two third-class ports (Cota de Brié and Saint Romain in Gali) and one second-class (Col de Parmenie, 5.1 km to 6.6).
