The 2023 edition of the Tour de France was marked by a magnificent duel between Jonas Vingegaard (Visma| Lease a Bike) et Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) but also by the vibrant tribute of French supporters to Thibaut Pinot, especially during the 20th and penultimate stage. As a reminder, in the Col du Petit Ballon, many supporters decided, on the initiative of the “Collectif Ultras Pinot”, to gather in order to encourage the Franche-Comté climber. The result ? One of the most memorable moments of Tour with the “Idol” passing at the head of the race in a delirious crowd.
