The Tour started today in Switzerland and the fans were out in droves to cheer the peloton on through the beautiful mountains along the French border. As the break away neared the top of the Col de Mosses Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) jumped away in hopes of starting his campaign to win the Maillot a Pois. As a Frenchman, he could also have just been trying to get home as soon as possible. He had left both Hugo Houle (Israel-Premier Tech) and Simon Geschke (Cofidis) behind. Spoiler alert... Geschke was the Frenchman who did just enough over the course of the day to be the one to pull on the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey heading into the second rest day.
