David Gaudu now knows music well. At the dawn of its 7th participation in the Tour de Franceat 27 years old, the Breton climber will once again be the leader of the Groupama-FDJ to play the best possible general ranking on this 111th edition. But the 4th of the Tour 2022 arrives in Italy for the Grand Départ in Florence this Saturday on tiptoe and without real certainties, after having had results for several months without relief and physical glitches – the latest dating back only to last week, with a Covid which deprived him of French Championships. Still in the dark regarding its form, Gaudu was not very reassuring to be able to play the general at a press conference this Thursday.

“With this covid, I don’t know where I am”
Obviously, the 9th of the previous edition first returned to this episode of Covid. “It wasn’t the best period of my season, once again. I was very tired, there were mornings when I had a headache when I got up. The only thing to do was to recover and wait for it to pass. Now, since yesterday (Wednesday) and the day before, it’s still much better. I’ve found the right sensations on the bike, so I’m ready for the start of the Tour de France.“. But according to him, he is mainly expecting to suffer during this demanding Italian weekend.
