CyclingFriday, 05 July 2024 at 16:45
With the stage 7 individual time-trial of the 2024 Tour de France taking the riders from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Gevrey-Chambertin, fans have come out in force to celebrate the peloton. No one has had more support than Lidl-Trek's Julien Bernard however.
The 32-year-old Frenchman, who is competing in the fourth Tour de France of his career, was given a heroes welcome on the slopes of the sole climb of the day. Not too concerned about setting a blistering time, Bernard was also able to soak up the adulation, waving to friends and even at one point, coming to a complete stop to kiss his partner and child.
See the heartwarming scenes for yourself in the video down below!

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
