26 luglio 2019 - Al Tour de France abbiamo dovuto registrare oggi l'abbandono di Tibaut Pinot che a 93,5 km dall’arrivo della 19a tappa SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNETIGNES di 126.5 Km, ha avuto necessità di farsi assistere dall’auto medica che lo ha fasciato all’altezza del ginocchio sinistro, in seguito ad un problema riscontrato nella tappa di ieri come comunicato dal team Groupama-FDJ del francese:
" Thibaut Pinot soffre di una lesione muscolare nella coscia sinistra. Ha terminato la ieri la 18a tappa del Tour de France con grande dolore ed ha avuto difficoltà a camminare ieri sera.
Sentendo un leggero miglioramento temporaneo legato alle cure fornite dal team medico giovedì sera, Thibaut Pinot è partito per la19a tappa.
Tuttavia, questo miglioramento è stato insufficiente per renderlo competitivo. Thibaut Pinot è quindi stato costretto all'abbandono durante lo svolgimento della tappa."
Ai meno 85 km, Pinot con le lacrime agli occhi, è stato costretto al ritiro dal TOUR DE FRANCE 2019!

Sulla salita più alta del Tour, in vista del gran premio della montaga ai 2770 mt del Col de l'Iserain, è iniziata la vera corsa con Thomas che a differenza di ieri ha lavorato per l'uomo più forte della INEOS, Bernal che ieri ha dinostrato di potere dire la sua sulle salite alpine della Grande Boucle.
Il gallese maglia gialla di un anno fà, con la sua azione ha sfiancato la maglia gialla Alaphilippe che si è staccato quasi subito, poi si è visto anche l'allungo dell'olandese Kruijswijk ed infine Bernal che è partito all'attacco facendo il vuoto.
Via via che la cima si avvicinava Alaphilippe cedeva secondi che diventano minuti, fino a quando la maglia gialla virtuale è passata al colombiano della INEOS.

LA GRAND BOUCLE STA SCOPRENDO IL GIÀ ANNUNCIATO, ED ATTESO NUOVO FENOMENO DEL CICLISMO
A 38 km dall’arrivo sul Col de l’Iserain, EGAN BERNAL all’attacco da un paio di chilometri, è già virtualmente al comando della Grande Boucle; anche Simon Yates che era davanti prima che il colombiano lo sopraggiungesse, fa fatica a tenere le ruote del giovane in maglia bianca che tutto solo al comando transita ai 2770 metri di altezza della vetta del Tour 2019 dedicata ad Henri Desgrange.
A quel punto Julian Alaphilippe stava subendo un distacco di 1’45” da Bernal quando il vantaggio del campione della Deceuninck-Quick Step alla partenza era di 1’35”.
INCREDIBILE al TOUR: 19a TAPPA SOSPESA e FINALE ANNULLATO CAUSA METEO
La 19a tappa termina ufficialmente con i tempi presi in cima al GPM del Col de l’Iseran a causa di una copiosa grandinata che ha reso impraticabile la strada in Val d’Isere!
I corridori in corsa sono stati avvisati che la corsa era finita sull'Iseran, mentre stavano affrontando la discesa con Bernal già in maglia gialla virtuale e con lo stupore dei più.
Il disappunto di alcuni come Alaphilippe ed Uran ed il sorriso di altri come Thomas e Bernal sono evidenti, in seguito in fondo alla discesa in Val d'Isere, la corsa si è fermata perchè la strada per TIgnes, la sede d'arrivo era bloccata da acqua e fango.

Solo dopo un paio di ore quando le ruspe hanno potuto liberare la strada per Tignes, si è potuto celebrare il cerimoniale di premiazione della nuova maglia gialla Egan Bernal e dei leader di tutte le altre classifiche, al termine di questa particolare giornata del Tour de France.

Bernal rides into yellow
Egan Bernal powered into the Tour de France yellow jersey after a memorable 19th stage.
The Colombian accelerated clear of his rivals on the Tour’s highest climb – the Col de l’Iseran – cresting the summit first and plunging on to the descent.
Unknown to the riders, the combination of a flash snow storm and a landslide made the roads up ahead impassable. A quick decision from the race organisers saw the stage neutralised, before eventually being cancelled on grounds of rider safety.
As the riders pulled up in Val d’Isere, the decision was made to take the general classification times from the top of the Iseran. With his eight-second time bonus applied, Bernal moves into a 48-second overall lead, pulling on the yellow jersey in only his second ever Grand Tour.
Bernal’s attack came off the back of an initial acceleration from Geraint Thomas. The Welshman was hauled back by his rivals, and was able to sit in as Bernal opened out his advantage. Thomas now sits third overall, 1:16 back on his team-mate, with Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick-Step) holding on to second. The yellow jersey was distanced on the climb, but remains in the podium mix heading into the final day in the mountains.
The team worked hard to set up the move, with Jonathan Castroviejo putting in another big shift setting the tempo in the lead-up to the climb. Dylan van Baarle again made the break, before dropping back to ride on the front, providing the launchpad for our dual attacks.

Reaction
- Egan Bernal
"To be honest, I didn’t know what was happening. I’ve been told in the radio that the race was finished and I said ‘no I want to keep going’. There were talking to me in English and I was not sure. Only after I stopped and my director told me that I was in yellow, I felt relieved.
"It’s incredible. I can’t believe it. I want to ride full gas tomorrow and then arrive to Parisand once I cross the line, I’ll start believing this is true. There’s one hard stage remaining. It’s a short one. I’ll give it all on the road. To become the first Colombian winner of the Tour de France would be amazing."
- Geraint Thomas
"If was a funny one because if we’d known [about the cancellation] beforehand it would have been more of a race to the top of that last climb. But it’s one of those things. It’s out of everyone’s control.
"It’s all ifs and buts. The main thing is that we’ve got the jersey in the team now and we’re in a great position. We just have to go in there and finish the job off tomorrow now.
"Going into the last stage Egan’s in yellow. The main thing is he finishes the job. For sure he’ll have a decent advantage over everyone else. I fully support him now. He’s been incredible from the start and he’s a phenomenal talent."
- Sir Dave Brailsford
"First and foremost there’s obviously been a landslide – quite a considerable one. You’ve got to make sure everyone is alright. There’s bike racing and then there’s the health and safety of everyone. I just hope everyone is alright.
"Fortune favours the brave at the end of the day. As we said this morning we were going to take it on. We’ve maybe not been the strongest that we’ve been all race, but today was the day. We thought if there was anywhere that we could make the difference it was on the Iseran. It was going to be hard to get there and I actually thought the guys rode really well. From Dylan getting in the break, to Castro and the guys – with Wout pushing the tempo at the bottom. We executed a plan, with G going first, Egan went over the top. Who knows what would have happened after that. It was nice to get to the top of the Iseran in that situation which is what we were hoping for.
"Obviously there’s quite a lot of downhill and another climb to come. But we don’t control the weather or the circumstances."
