"The Tour is definitely something different from all the other races" - says Jai Hindley after his Grande Boucle debut

Jai Hindley successfully concluded the first stage of Tour de France in the group of favourites which crossed the line 12 and 8 seconds behind Adam and Simon Yates respectively. More important for Hindley however was the fact that the Australian lost no time to Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, his greatest rivals in the GC.
"It was already a really hard first day. The boys did a great job to keep me out of trouble the whole day and I appreciate that. On the penultimate climb the pace was already really high. The Tour is definitely something different from all the other races," said Hindley after the stage.
"On the last climb it was full gas. I was just off the first guys and waited for the chasing group because Jumbo had some numbers there and we all regrouped quite fast. I just had to follow the wheels, and I’m happy with the result and my shape. A top ten at my first ever Tour de France stage is not too bad, I think," Hindley concludes.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
