Tour double pack! “Miraculous” Thalmann comeback and strong Team Vorarlberg day at the first stage of the Alpes Isere Tour 2.2 – night start at Fleche du Sud in Luxembourg!

 

It almost borders on a miracle! Roland Thalmann breaks his upper arm on April 6 at the Circuit des Ardennes. After only 49 days, the team captain made his comeback today. And what a performance on the first stage (118 kilometers) with start and finish in Charvieu-Chavagneux.

 

Team Vorarlberg takes main responsibility

“Roli” really rolled today. Drove with his Vorarlberg Equipe almost everything from the front at the great occupied tour with the best Continental teams in Europe, as well as the UCI Pro Teams Kern Pharma (SPA) and B&B Hotels-KTM (FRA). Likewise again in racing, the ski mountaineer Daniel Ganahl. From the skis directly to the front of the peloton.

In the sprint of the dangerous finale has been kept out today. The stage is won by the German sprinter Henri Uhlig (Alpecin-Fenix). The goal at this tour is the overall classification on the difficult stages on Saturday and Sunday – but they presented themselves super active today and brought everyone healthy to the finish. Not all teams managed to do this today!
