‘Disappointing’ lack of time trials prompts Thomas to shift focus from Tour to Giro

“This new end, conditioned by the logistical imperatives that may already block the Champs-Elysees just some days earlier than the beginning of the Paris 2024 Olympic Video games, is accompanied by a big sporting problem because the final stage will probably be a person time trial.”

It’s going to even be the primary time the race has completed with aggressive racing since Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon within the final-day time trial 35 years in the past in 1989.

“The sporting qualities of the riders more likely to win imply that the Tour might stay undecided till the previous few kilometres, as was the case in 1989, the final time the occasion supplied a time trial to shut the proceedings.

“On that day, Greg LeMond beat Laurent Fignon by 58 seconds to win his second Tour by the narrowest margin in historical past, eight seconds.”

The 2024 occasion would be the first time the occasion has completed outdoors of the Paris space.

The Grand Depart of the 2024 Tour de France is but to be introduced.
