That Guadeloupe Tour Completely wacky! After the exclusion of the two Dutch runners hidden behind a car and waiting for the peloton during the 2nd stage, the endless troubleshooting of Benjamin Le Ny (Team Cama CCD) who turned into a fiasco, the road accident that involved cars in the advertising caravan, or the 10 -year -old girl struck by a motorcycle during the 8th stage, who suffers from a right -eyed hematoma and wounds with the lower members, it is a new case that rocked this 74th edition.
