It’s the first yellow jersey for Yves Lampaert! The Belgian was the fastest in the streets of Copenhagen and won the opening time trial of the 2022 Tour de France in Denmark.
Lampaert’s compatriot Wout van Aert, who was 5 seconds slower, was disappointed.
On social media, some shared the photo of a puzzled and disappointed Wout van Aert, who had already seen himself safe in the yellow jersey for the first stage.

This Saturday, the second stage of the Tour de France leads to Nyborg – across the Great Belt, which separates two Danish islands. And much will depend on the weather – as so often in the Tour de France. Already this Friday, some riders had to struggle with the rain.
