Now that in France they converse of giving the rooms of the museums a scent associated to the uncovered artwork beginning with the Maqueos de María Antonieta, maybe the galleries and exhibitions of bicycles, maillots, posters and pictures of previous cyclists ought to think about including a contact of liniment sloan within the air, scent of therapeutic massage and arnic fluid for the ache, and of youngsters He would affiliate Proust, for instance, to his childhood follower. It would give a sure life to the lifetime of the cyclists now, which don’t scent like something, and the lengthy corridors of the Novotele, previously caves for the senses, so aseptic now, are working rooms with out scent or bleach or a dentist anesthetic. And the kitchens of the tools, chemistry laboratories, akin to Ferran Adrià. Under the aegis of Tadej Pogacar, the tour, drawn in the hunt for the fast reward feelings to be lowered by boxing fights within the remaining slopes, has entered the routine of a vicious circle that condemns the escapes in levels applicable earlier than working to 50 solely to keep up a bonus of 90s for limitless kilometers of agony, until the geniuses like Ben Healy insurgent. The slope present is just a stage, a pink carpet, in order that Pogacar seems to be. The followers get drained. Cycling doesn’t scent of something. Where emotion. The unexpected.

That the mass sprints return, tales so unbridled that neither the smart males of the watts nor the AI can management, and there, within the final meters of a flat stage underneath the warmth of the Mayenne, each cereal subject already within the harvest, it does scent like biking. Sweat and concern. The tour rediscovers the Sprint and Jonny Milan, an imposing colossus, 1.96m, 84 kilos, 24 years, bulldozer method, mirage velocity, raises, lastly the arms. And there’s discuss of biking and never of Pogacar’s whims, at all times yellow, and his kisses with Vingegaard. Extinction or dash. The want will make you virtuous.

Not that Pogacar appears to trouble him to not be the protagonist, nor that in the future nothing till the tip passes. “It is fine to have a day of rest, recovery, four Horts in the sun, with the heat, on the bike. And it is also good to see João [Almeida, su lugarteniente, portugués como el Yáñez de Sandokán, enamorado, caído en la subida a Mûr de Bretaña, con una costilla rota] on the bicycle and finishing the stage.

But I think that with the broken rib it costs him a lot to breathe and today he has suffered with the accelerations, so I hope he has less pain in the next few days, but nobody expects him to exceed the limit, after all it is only a cycling race, the body must not be destroyed for this, ”says the Slovenian earlier than the press whereas scratching the outer wall of the suitable ear, digs and investigates the fruit of the exploration of the exploration of a nail Discreetly within the yellow jersey, calm there in the identical place the place Milan responds within the clouds, nearly breathlessly nonetheless 40 minutes after his victory. As If you run the return: “I still have no program defined. I will decide after the tour … I’ll see if I want to spend another month away from home.”

Passion just isn’t the mountain, however the stark battle within the mind of serotonins, dopamines, adrenalins, gasps and glutamates. Who mentioned concern. Who vertigo at 78 per hour brushing the fences.

Large muscle teams to 120 revolutions per minute. A codazo, a push, a lane change … Milan is alone. His Lidl Train, Theuns, Consonni, Stuyven, have let him be dealt with solely the final kilometer, which makes him everlasting whereas he shakes his imposing housing backward and forward, in search of others that information him.

When the Dutch prodigy is eliminated, the heavens open for Milan. It imposes its mass, its giant quantity of distribution, accelerates. A gap lastly, a thrust of arms, head, legs and physique. A cry and a Uff. Arms up. First stage victory within the third dash of his first tour for the Tolmezzo whip that started on the monitor chasing and found the true scent of biking within the final meters of the asphalt.
