This 'Tour' is in fact a sort of Brittany โ Lake Geneva straight line in 9 stages.
22 teams of 7 riders are engaged, including all top riders I believe.

Stage 1 (Saturday 26: 17:25โ17:40 โ 19:25โ19:40)
The timing is made so that the women race starts right after the penultimate stage of the (men) Tour de France finishes.
At the Intermediate Sprint, only 1.5 rider seemed interested in the points.
I am not sure because I really don't know them well, but wasn't it a little bit the same for GC, with several riders, whom one may have expected to put up a fight, having a bit of a Roglitch attitude? Do many riders submit to the favourite(s) and already give up on GC before the first stage is finished?
