WhileAbrahamsengreen jersey on his back, satisfied a natural need, Cool remained seated quietly on the frame of his bicycle, and the two NorwegiansUno-X Mobility were caught by the pack. Questioned after the race as part of the protocol ceremony, the holder of the green jersey and the polka dot jersey explained why he and his teammate had done this.

“I hope I can still have one of the jerseys the day after tomorrow (Wednesday)”
“Johannes (Kulset) is the youngest rider in the peloton on this Tour and he asked me if we could do a show for TV with the green jersey and the youngest rider. I think he loved it. Sometimes you have to put on a show and have fun.”said a Jonas Abrahamsen who expects to suffer on Tuesday during the first mountain stage of this 2024 edition. “I think it will be difficult for me, I weigh 80 kg and there are a lot of climbs. Maybe it would be better if I was in the breakaway, it would be better, but I think it will be difficult on the first climb. We will see, I hope I can still have one of the jerseys the day after tomorrow (Wednesday).”concludes the great presenter of this start of the 111th Big loop.
