With all of the tradition having been honored, it was time to race. After the champagne toasts, the winner's team photos, the handshakes, the mugging for the cameras, and the procession onto the Champs Elysees led by the team of the Maillot Juane, it is time to get back to the business of a bike race. The moment that the yellow jersey crossed the line for the first of eight laps, the attacks began. This trio of Harry Sweeny (Lotto Soudal), Stefan Bisseger (EF Education-Nippo) and someone from Bora-Hansgrohe got a bit of seperation as the peloton flew back down the Champs Elysees away from the l'Arc de Triomphe. As Phil Liggett said, "That might be the biggest flag I've ever seen." Normally, their would be a fly over by the French airforce, but they arrived just a bit late. I'll leave the interpretation of that fact to others...
