Bad luck for Hirt
Crash with spectator: a scare before the start of the Tour
The 111th edition of the Tour de France got off to a painful start for Czech professional cyclist Jan Hirt. On Saturday, he had a collision with a spectator before the start of the first stage in Florence.
On the X platform, team boss Patrick Lefevere posted a photo of the injured pro with damaged upper incisors and raged: "There are 100 rules for the team, but someone with a rucksack caused Jan Hirt to fall between the autograph sessions and the bus." According to the spokesperson, the start was chaotic. Many spectators had lingered around the buses.
Hirt can go to the start
However, Hirt, who won the Tour of Austria in 2016 and a stage of the Giro in 2022, was able to start the tough 3600-metre climb. The first stage led 206 kilometers from Florence to the seaside resort of Rimini. The Tour ends in Nice after 21 stages.
