Dutchman Mathieu Van der Poel wins the second step

It is clearly not a few drops of rain that will shower the morale of the Ch'tis. Seeing the Tour de France pass, it does not happen every day. “The last time was years ago, obviously you have to be there”launched a supporter. Hard profession than that of a cyclist. Some scares took place during the second stage of the big loop on Sunday July 6, but no big injured.

And when the sun finally shows the end of its rays, as Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) approach, the road starts to go up. “Yesterday we were in Lille we saw nothing and therefore here we hope that they roll a little more slowly”launched a supporter. Mathieu Van der Poel, Raymond Poulidor's grandson was the fastest during the stage. He puts on the yellow jersey, a beautiful day in short. Quite the opposite of the Cofidis team: eleven bikes were stolen from them.
