Men’s Virtual Tour de France Stage 2
Julien Bernard became the first Frenchman to win a stage of the Tour de France in 2020.
“I’m very proud because a Tour stage is a Tour stage,” Bernard said after his victory. “Whether it’s virtual, I’m very happy to have won and also for Trek-Segafredo, we worked very well during the break and now we are ready for the real racing.”
Thanks to the results, NTT remains in the yellow jersey ahead of next weekend’s stage three and four.
